Optical Properties of Silver-Coated Silicon Nanowires: Morphological and Plasmonic Excitations

The optical extinction spectra of micro- and nanoparticles made up of high-contrast dielectrics exhibit a set of very intense peaks due to the excitations of morphology-dependent resonances (MDRs). These kind of resonances are well known at the microscopic scale as whispering gallery modes. In this...

In this work, we study numerically the optical spectra corresponding to a core–shell structure composed by an infinite silicon nanowire coated with a silver shell.

We analyze the optical response in both the far and near fields, involving wavelengths in the extended range of 300–2,400 nm. We show that the MDRs excited at the core are selectively perturbated by the metallic shell through the bonding and antibonding surface plasmons (SPs). This perturbation depends on both the size of the core and the thickness of the shell, and, as a consequence, we get an efficient tuneable and detectable simple system.

description The optical extinction spectra of micro- and nanoparticles made up of high-contrast dielectrics exhibit a set of very intense peaks due to the excitations of morphology-dependent resonances (MDRs). These kind of resonances are well known at the microscopic scale as whispering gallery modes. In this work, we study numerically the optical spectra corresponding to a core–shell structure composed by an infinite silicon nanowire coated with a silver shell. This structure shows a combination of both excitations: MDRs and the well-known surface plasmon resonances in dielectric metallic core–shell nanoparticles (Ekeroth Abraham and Lester, Plasmon 2012). We compute in an exact form the complete electromagnetic response for both bare and coated silicon nanowires in the range of 24–200 nm of cross-sectional sizes. We take into account an experimental bulk dielectric function of crystalline silicon and silver by using a correction by size of the metal dielectric function. In this paper, we consider small silver shells in the range of 1–10 nm of thickness as coatings. We analyze the optical response in both the far and near fields, involving wavelengths in the extended range of 300–2,400 nm. We show that the MDRs excited at the core are selectively perturbated by the metallic shell through the bonding and antibonding surface plasmons (SPs). This perturbation depends on both the size of the core and the thickness of the shell, and, as a consequence, we get an efficient tuneable and detectable simple system.
