摘要
We investigate the plasmonic properties in terms of plasmonic resonances, near field intensity, and charge distribution of interacting nanowires chain which consists of small and large numbers of coupled silver nanowires. We show that the dominant resonance wavelength increases monotonically as the number of nanowires increases. On the other hand, the near field intensity is not only dependent on the chain length but also on the plasmonic resonances in the same chain length. The charge distribution is also demonstrated to fully understand the dependence of plasmonic properties on the chain length. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
