Description
Summary:The synthesized photoluminescent and highly dielectric ZnO nanostructures are theoretically investigated as the metamaterial. Herein, the electric and magnetic responses of the ZnO nanomaterial are enhanced by introducing gold into ZnO to form Au-ZnO core–shell nanomaterial. The ZnO nanostructures are studied by optimizing their particle size in the near-infrared and far-field frequency region using Mie theory. The intense light scattering peaks with a peak shift for the Au-ZnO core–shell nanomaterial at the optimized particle size and particular wavelength in the near-infrared region are observed. A strong electric and magnetic pattern for the Au-ZnO core–shell nanomaterial is observed in the near-infrared and far-field frequency region as compared to the ZnO nanoparticles due to the surface plasmon property of the gold. The results pave the way for the design of complex dielectric materials for different optical applications through metamaterial technologies.
