Controlling the optical scattering of plasmonic nanoparticles using a thin dielectric layer

The effect of a thin dielectric film on the plasmonic behaviour of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) above a high refractive index substrate is explored. Using finite-difference time domain simulations, the optical properties of Ag nanoparticles are investigated as a function of film thickness, refractive...
