This work reportson plasmonic effects (i.e light scattering and absorption properties) induced by two different gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-shaped: spherical particle and triangular particle. The scattering cross-section and electric field profiles have been investigated by using theboundary element method (MNPBEM toolbox). Two configurations: the isolated AuNPand the coupledtwo-gold NPsystem have been considered to evaluate the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in eithersingle or coupled AuNPstructures. The effect of the surrounding medium on the scattering behavior of the NPs has also been examined. Then the dependence of “hotspot” intensity on the distance between two NPs has been recognized by mapping the electric field profile. The obtained results can be used as the guidelines for synthesizing AuNP structures to employ LSPR for sensing or other applications.

Multilayered nanoshells have attracted much attention due to their unique optical, electronic and magnetic properties. In this work, numerical calculation using discrete dipole approximation (DDA) is conducted to investigate the quad-layered metal nanoshell consisting of a particle with a dielectric silica (SiO2) core, inner cadium sulfide (CdS) shell, middle indium tin oxide (ITO) shell and outer metal silver (Ag) shell. The phenomenon is interpreted by plasmon hybridization theory and the Ag–ITO–CdS–SiO2 multilayered nanoshells are studied by extinction spectra of localized surface plasmon resonance. The variation in the spectrum peak with nanoparticle thickness and refractive index of the surrounding medium is derived. The electric field enhancement contour around the nanoparticles under illumination is analyzed at the plasmon resonance wavelength. The [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] modes red-shift with the refractive index of the surrounding medium and increase in the layer thickness causes either blue-shift or red-shift as shown by the extinction spectra. The mechanism of the red-shift or blue-shift is discussed. The [Formula: see text] mode blue-shifts and furthermore, the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] modes of the Ag coated multilayered nanostructure are noticeable by comparing the extinction efficiency spectra of the Au–ITO–CdS–SiO2 and Ag–ITO–CdS–SiO2 multilayered nanoshells.
