Abstract
The effects of different defects on optical properties and plasmon resonances properties of Au nanoshell arrays were investigated by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) theory. It is found that the optical properties of the nanoshell arrays are strongly influenced by different defects. We show that when the hollow Au nanoshell arrays are placed in air, there is a wide photonic band gap (PBG) in the infrared region, but the band gap becomes narrower as we introduced different defects. Based on the distributions of electric field component Ez and the total energy distribution of the electric and the magnetic field, we show that there exhibit dipoles field distributions for the plasmon mode at the long-wavelength edge of the band gap, but composite higher order modes are excited at the short-wavelength edge of the band gap. The plasmon resonant modes also can be controlled by introducing defects.
