摘要
The plasmonic properties of aligned silver nanoparticles grown by atomic terrace low-angle shadowing (ATLAS) were studied by optical transmission spectroscopy. ATLAS is a novel nanofabrication technique that combines the advantages of self-assembly with control of the nanostructure features. The silver nanoarrays were optically characterized and distinct optical responses with strong polarization dependence were obtained indicating the existence of a strong near-field coupling between the particles. We found that different morphologies gave rise to a similar optical response due to the local contributions to the overall response. Numerical model based on discrete dipole approximation was used to give a qualitative insight into the studied phenomena.
