The propagation of surface hybrid modes on a nano shell has been investigated theoretically. The effect of increasing the thickness of the metal shell on plasmon dispersion is shown. A simple form of plasmon dispersion has been obtained for m = 0. By increasing shell thickness the coupling between the inner and outer surface becomes weak, and in this case modes at smaller q tend to the surface plasmon frequency for a flat surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
