Abstract

We report the near field localized surface plasmon characteristics of triangular system of silver nanocylinders and shell nanocylinders interacting with incident plane wave, studied using finite element method. The trimer nanocylinder system possesses far greater structural tunability than either a single nanorod or a nanoshell, along with much larger local field intensity enhancements and far greater sensitivity. The effect of geometrical as well as material parameters on the longitudinal localized plasmon resonance of the trimer nanosystem was investigated. The results provide insight in to the possible tunability of the localized plasmon modes which could find application in designing of chemical and biological sensors, electron emitters, etc.
