Abstract
Plasmonic coupling of the nanoparticles plays a key role in the performance, but most previous studies have focused on the isolated nanoparticles, nanoparticle dimers with round surface or nanoparticle arrays. Here plasmonic properties of gold nanosheet monomers and dimers in rectangular structure are investigated. The plasmon resonance of the monomers is found to be primarily controlled by the light polarization, rather than the incident orientation. The strongest resonance is achieved when the polarization aligns with the long axis of the nanosheet. For the dimers, the strong coupling leads to the appearance of multistage plasmonic peaks and significant amplification of the resonant bands. Structural changes in the dimers induce the band shift and intensity variation. The optimal dimer displays a strong plasmonic coupling with a maximum electric field enhancement and a tremendous sensitivity of 748.3 nm/RIU, which provides valuable insights for the design and applications of noble metal nanostructures.
