Plasmonic resonances of slender nanometallic rings
arXiv:2107.01716 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.105.125412
Abstract
We develop an approximate quasi-static theory describing the low-frequency plasmonic resonances of slender nanometallic rings and configurations thereof. First, we use asymptotic arguments to reduce the plasmonic eigenvalue problem governing the geometric (material- and frequency-independent) modes of a given ring structure to a 1D-periodic integro-differential problem in which the eigenfunctions are represented by azimuthal voltage and polarization-charge profiles associated with each ring. Second, we obtain closed-form solutions to the reduced eigenvalue problem for azimuthally invariant rings (including torus-shaped rings but also allowing for non-circular cross-sectional shapes), as well as coaxial dimers and chains of such rings. For more general geometries, involving azimuthally non-uniform rings and non-coaxial structures, we solve the reduced eigenvalue problem using a semi-analytical scheme based on Fourier expansions of the reduced eigenfunctions. Third, we used the asymptotically approximated modes, in conjunction with the quasi-static spectral theory of plasmonic resonance, to study and interpret the frequency response of a wide range of nanometallic slender-ring structures under plane-wave illumination.
