Symmetric and anti-symmetric magnetic resonances in double-triangle nanoparticle arrays fabricated via angle-resolved nanosphere lithography

We report experimentally that for a particular high-symmetry planar periodic arrangement of metal double-triangle nanoparticle arrays fabricated via angle resolved nanosphere lithography, both anti-symmetric and symmetric magnetic resonances can be explicitly excited at off-normal incidence.

Description
Summary:We report experimentally that for a particular high-symmetry planar periodic arrangement of metal double-triangle nanoparticle arrays fabricated via angle resolved nanosphere lithography, both anti-symmetric and symmetric magnetic resonances can be explicitly excited at off-normal incidence. Further, we demonstrate that the underlying mechanism for the formation of these two modes is a result of direct interactions with the incident electric and magnetic fields, respectively. As a consequence, with increasing the incident angle there is a relatively small blue-shift in the transmission for the electric-field induced anti-symmetric mode, while a remarkable red-shift is observed for the magnetic-field induced symmetric mode.
