Abstract
Based on the nanostructured surface model, where conical nanoparticle arrays grow out symmetrically from a plane metal substrate, a theoretical model of the local electric potential near nanocones is built when a uniform external electric field is applied. In terms of this model, the electric potential distribution near the nanocone arrays is obtained and given by a curved surface using a numerical computation method. The computational results show that the electric potential distribution near the nanocone arrays exhibit an obvious geometrical symmetry. These results could serve as a basis for explaining many abnormal phenomena, such as the abnormal infrared effects (AIREs) which are found on nanostructured metal surfaces, as well as a reference for investigating the applications of nanomaterials, such as nanoelectrodes and nanosensors.
