Abstract
Au nanowire arrays with high aspect ratios are prepared in anode aluminum oxide templates by electrochemical deposition. The obtained structures are investigated by scanning Auger microscopy. Surface plasmon resonances of Au nanowire arrays induce a transverse mode (T mode) and a longitudinal mode (L mode) in the optical absorption, which indicates the strong anisotropy of the Au nanowires. The L mode intensity is related to the angle and polarization of the incident light. The L mode position shows a shift with the increase of aspect ratio of the nanowires. The plasmon coupling between Au nanowires is compared with the H-aggregation of organic chromophores. The blue shift of the L mode in the arrays compared with a single nanowire is induced by multi-coupling of the electromagnetic field between neighbouring nanowires. A finite element method is used to simulate the electric field distributions of a single Au nanowire and an array of plasmonically coupled wires.
