Effect of spacer on size dependent plasmonic properties of triple layered spherical core-shell nanostructure

  • Received: 19 August 2020 Accepted: 06 November 2020 Published: 27 November 2020
  • In this paper, the plasmonic property of triple layered ZnO@M@Au (M = spacer) spherical core-shell nanostructures embedded in a dielectrics host medium is investigated by varying core size, spacer thickness, shell thickness and dielectrics function of the host medium within the framework of the qausi-static approximation method. The absorption coefficient of ZnO@M@Au spherical triple layered core-shell nanostructures is effectively studied by optimizing the parameters with range of nano-inclusion size mainly in between 18 and 23 nm. In this triple layered core-shell nanostructure two plasonic resonances are found associated with spacer@Au and Au@medium interfaces. The tunability of the plasmon resonances of the composite systems enables it to exhibit very interesting material properties in a variety of applications extending from near-UV to near-infrared spectral region.
