摘要
We have studied the spectral response of individual pairs of gold nanoparticles chemically synthesized and stabilized on a transparent thin film. Very thin interspacing distances are explored by taking advantage of a residual layer of surfactant molecules at the metal surface. Absolute extinction cross section measurements by the spatial modulation spectroscopy technique are correlated to the corresponding high magnification images independently obtained from transmission electron microscopy. The signature of a transition from isolated to conductively coupled particles is evidenced in the optical spectra and is discussed in relation with their morphology. The strength of the electromagnetic coupling is controlled not only by their spacing but also by the shape of their opposite surfaces in the gap region.
