Abstract

The optical properties of nanostructured architectures are highly sensitive to their compositions, structures, dimensions, geometries and embedding mediums. Nanopolyhedra, including homogeneous metal nanoparticles and core-shell structures, have unique optical properties. In the beginning of this study, Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) method has been introduced. Then the simulated extinction spectra of single-component metal nanoparticles and Au@Ag polyhedra were calculated using both Mie and DDA methods. The influence of morphology and components on the optical response is discussed and well-supported by previously published experimental results. It is observed that the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance peaks are mainly decided by sharp vertexes and symmetry of noble metallic polyhedra, as well as the structure of the Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles.
