Location effect on gold nano bi-domes based absorption coefficient

Abstract

Binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm was used to generate the binary gold nano bi-domes for getting higher absorption coefficient spectrum. The simulation results show that absorption coefficient strongly depends on the localized position of nano particles and non-periodic structures have more appropriate response in term of absorption coefficient. This approach can be useful in optical applications such as solar cell and plasmonic nano antenna.
