Designer Solids Nanoantennas and Materials
Abstract
Integrate plasmonic nanoparticles with designer solids composed of quantum dots (QDs) and molecules to design and engineer multiscale antennas as the building block for materials and devices. They will use a dipole mode approach to create nanoparticles with strong scattering at subwavelength sizes. They will then model clusters of these plasmonic elements integrated with quantum dots. The problem of multiple scattering of a plane wave by an array of dielectric spheres will be solved with the use of multipole expansion method and the translational addition theorem for the vector spherical wave functions. For small size particle only electric dipole mode is required. This modeling will be employed for various nanostructure designs and optimized for desired attributes of energy transmission and absorption.
