Epsilon-near-zero nanoparticles
arXiv:2208.05299 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.107.023501
Abstract
In this work, we propose epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) nanoparticles formed of metal and dielectric bilayers and employ the effective medium approach for multilayered nanospheres to study their optical response. We obtained a passive tunable ENZ region by varying the radii of the proposed bilayer nanospheres, ranging from visible to near-IR. In addition, we present the absorption and scattering cross-section of ENZ nanoparticles using an open-source, transfer-matrix-based software (STRATIFY). %, and a commercial FDTD software (LUMERICAL). The proposed ENZ nanoparticle is envisioned to be experimentally realized using chemical synthesis techniques.
