Abstract. Gold-nanorod arrays of a quasi-hexagonal shape are successfully obtained with electrochemical deposition method and their optical properties are investigated. The optical response of a two-layer structure, in which the first layer is a nanocomposite consisting of Au nanorods and the second one is a thin indium tin oxide film on a glass substrate, has been analyzed. Dependences of absorption cross-section of Au nanorods on the light wavelength at different eccentricities are modelled using electrostatic approximation. It is shown that longitudinal plasmon resonance prevails over other resonances for the Au nanorods deposited on glass substrates. A Maxwell−Garnett theory and a matrix method are used to predict the optical characteristics of the whole structure. We have demonstrated that it is possible to estimate the concentration of nanorods on the surface using the appropriate simulation results. In addition, efficient absorption properties can be obtained at a given wavelength by changing the geometry of nanorods. In particular, there is a shift of the absorption peak towards near-infrared region whenever the nanorods become high enough and smaller in diameter.

Keywords: plasmon resonance, nanoparticles, arrays of Au nanorods, dielectric permittivity

Анотація. Матриці наностержнів золота квазігексагональної форми успішно одержано за методом електрохімічного висадження. Досліджені їхні оптичні властивості. Проаналізовано оптичний відгук двошарової структури, в якій перший шар є нанокомпозитом, що складається з наностержнів Au, а інший − тонкою плівкою оксиду олова індію на скляній підкладці. У рамках електростатичного наближення виконано моделювання залежності перетину поглинання наностержнів Au від довжини світлової хвилі для різних ексцентриситетів. Показано, що поздовжній плазмонний резонанс переважає над іншими типами резонансів у наностержнях Au, нанесених на скляні підкладки. Для прогнозування оптичних характеристик всієї структури використано теорію Максвелла−Ґарнета та матричний метод. Продемонстровано, що на основі відповідних результатів моделювання можна оцінити концентрацію наностержнів на поверхні. Крім того, потрібне поглинання на заданій довжині хвилі можна одержати шляхом зміни геометрії наностержнів. Зокрема, ми спостерігали зсув піку поглинання в напрямку ближньої інфрачервоної області, якщо наностержні набувають достатню висоту та стають меншими в діаметрі.

Ключові слова: плазмонний резонанс, наночастинки, масиви наностержнів Au, діелектрична проникність
