Tunable plasmonic properties of silver nanorods for nanosensing applications
Source abstract
Abstract
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensitivity to the surrounding medium refractive index has been studied for silver nanorods using Gans theory including the effect of retardation and surface scattering. The simulation results show the refractive index sensitivity (eV/RIU) maxima positions at width of 9, 6, and 4 nm for aspect ratios of 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Based on the sensing figure of merit (FOM), 9 nm is found to be a significant nanorod width, where the FOM dependence on width with respect to aspect ratio inverts. However, the optimal nanorod width for both the FOM and the modified figure of merit (MFOM) is about 6 nm for aspect ratios of 2, 3, and 4. A comparison with gold shows that silver nanorods exhibit relatively higher FOM and MFOM and thus, making them potential candidates for biochemical nanosensing applications.
