Enhanced Absorption Induced by a Metallic NanoshellClick to copy article linkArticle link copied!
Abstract

Nanoshells have been previously shown to have tunable absorption frequencies that are dependent on the ratio of their inner and outer radii. Inspired by this, we ask: can a nanoshell increase the absorption of a small core system embedded within it? A theoretical model is constructed to answer this question. A core, composed of a “jellium” ball of the density of gold is embedded within a jellium nanoshell of nanometric diameter. The shell plasmon frequency is tuned to the core absorption line. A calculation based the time-dependent density functional theory was performed showing a 10 fold increase in core excitation yield.
