Abstract:We investigated how induced optical bistability (IOB) and bistability domain (BD) of spheroidal core–shell nanocomposites (NCs) are affected by the depolarization factor (L), metal fraction (p), and host matrix (ɛh). The NCs are composed of passive and active dielectric cores coated with a metallic shell and embedded in various host matrices. By employing Laplace’s equation and the Drude–Lorentz model, we calculated the electric field enhancement in various regions of the NCs and studied their IOB theoreticall… Show more
