Abstract

Local electric field (LEF) distribution near Ag, Au, AgAu NPs synthesized by UV laser or temperature treatments, and near simulated Rb, AgRb, AuRb NPs in oxide glasses, was studied considering aggregates of 10–15 particles - necessary condition for description of optical extinction spectra. For efficient analysis of LEF spatial distributions under different sizes, components, agglomerations of NPs in these aggregates, approach was proposed that enables to obtain dependence of averaged LEF enhancement upon the distance from the nearest particles in aggregate. This approach reproduced enhancement of Er3+ luminescence intensity in zinc-tellurite glass after formation of Ag NPs and showed that average LEF enhancement per hypothetical Rare Earth ion (REI) is largest for aggregates of Ag, less for Rb, lowest for Au NPs. The optimal Ag NPs aggregate was estimated for best LEF enhancement per hypothetical REI. Simulated aggregates of Rb containing NPs demonstrated strong LEF, shifted in a wide range.
