Abstract
Multilayer nanoparticles (NPs) with gold (Au) and graphene (Gr) shells are increasingly important in nanotechnology due to their unique properties and applications. These NPs enhance surface plasmon resonance (SPR), allowing precise control over their optical properties and absorption intensity. This study investigates the SPR characteristics of two spherical core-shell NPs: (SiO2/Au/Gr) and (Hollow/Au/Gr), using the finite element method (FEM). The optical parameters analyzed include dielectric constant, absorption cross-section, and optical conductivity. Results indicate that the Gr-shell causes a red shift in the SPR peak and reduces absorption amplitude, with effects becoming more pronounced as the number of Gr sheets increases. The intermediate Au-shell thickness is crucial for plasmonic coupling; as it decreases, the resonance frequency shifts towards the near-infrared (NIR) region, increasing SPR peak amplitude. Enhancing near-field and thermoplasmonic efficiency converting light energy into heat under SPR can be optimized by adjusting Au shell thickness and Gr sheet count. This flexibility allows for the design of nanostructures suitable for various applications, including SPR detection, photothermal therapy, and ultrasensitive optical sensors, where precise SPR control is vital.
