Quasistatic plasmon resonances in the visible spectral range of arbitrary shaped nano-grooves — •Camille Maxime1,2, Aude Barbara1,2, and Pascal Quemerais1,31Institut Néel, CNRS-UJF, Grenoble, France — 2IAPP, TU Dresden, Germany — 3MPI-PKS, Dresden, Germany

As we previously reported, plasmonic resonances inside rectangular nano-grooves periodically made on a silver surface present a cross-over between two physical regimes [1]: an optical one for groove widths w larger than 10 nm, and a quasistatic one for lower values. In that case, the grooves resonate in the visible range even for grooves height h of only a few nanometers (5-15 nm). A very strong light absorption occurs at the resonance together with an electric field intensity enhancement (EFIE) of about 400. These results were obtained with a method only available for rectangular shapes. To generalize, we have implemented a surface integral method [2] and adapted it to periodic profiles to avoid surface boundaries problems. As an example, the behaviour of Gaussian shaped grooves was studied. It fully confirms the transition to a quasistatic regime as the groove width decreases leading to unusual EFIE (up to about 10000) and a very strong light absorption. These original results are fundamental to explain surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) experiments such as the historical ones of Albano et al.[3].
