Evolution of the Plasmons in Gold Nano-cuboid
摘要
Based on the time-dependent density functional theory and the free-electron gas model, we mainly explore the plasmons in gold nano-cuboid. With the help of energy absorption spectrum and charge distribution, the evolutions of longitudinal and transverse plasmons are obtained. Our results show that, as the height of gold nano-cuboid increases, the transverse plasmon mode exhibits a blue shift, while the longitudinal plasmon mode undergoes a red shift. The charge distributions of the strongest transverse and longitudinal plasmon modes both exhibit dipole symmetry characteristics. Additionally, when the electron filling approaches half filling, a blue shift is observed in both the transverse and longitudinal plasmon modes.
