Abstract
The surface plasmon response of metal nanoparticles is studied for different shapes and physical environments. For polyhedral nanoparticles, the surface plasmon resonances are studied as a function of the number of faces and vertices. The modification of these surface plasmons by different surrounding media and the presence of a substrate or other nanoparticles is also discussed. We found that polyhedral nanoparticles composed with less faces show more surface plasmon resonances, and as the nanoparticle becomes more symmetric, the main surface plasmon resonance is blue-shifted. It is also found that the corners induce more surface plasmons in a wider energy range. In the presence of a substrate, multipolar plasmon resonances are induced, and as the nanoparticle approaches the substrate, such resonances are red-shifted. The interaction among nanoparticles also induces multipolar resonances, but they can be red or blue-shifted depending on the polarization of the external field.
