Extinction spectroscopy of ellipsoidal nanoparticles — •Mathis Noell and Carsten Henkel — Universität Potsdam, Institut für Physik und Astronomie

Plasmonic nanostructures provide an interesting platform to enhance the spectroscopy of molecules. If a nanoparticle is covered with a thin absorbing layer, theory predicts certain resonances that are not seen in experimental extinction spectra [1, 2]. To understand this issue, we analyse the distribution of electric fields and of energy dissipation in and around an ellipsoidal nanoparticle. Calculations are done for gold particles covered with a few nm thick layer. At the spurious resonance, the field is highly localised in this layer, suggesting that strong coupling to the molecular exciton is possible at the few-photon level. We compare the impact of different effective medium approaches on the calculated spectra.
