Geometric Symmetry of Dielectric Antenna Influencing Light Absorption in Quantum-Sized Metal Nanocrystals: A Comparative Study

Silica nanoparticles, optically transparent in the visible spectral region, represent a class of dielectric antenna to tune the propagation and local field distribution of the visible light through surface scattering while the energy loss is minimized. The light scattering on the surface of silica n...
