摘要
Employing cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy and imaging in a field emission gun (FEG) scanning electron microscope (SEM), we study localized surface plasmon (LSP) modes on individual tilted gold nanodecahedron sitting on a silicon substrate. We experimentally resolve three distinct LSP modes in the far-field radiation acquired via CL. The experimental spectra and intensity maps of plasmon modes are in excellent agreement with the spectra and 2D-CL image obtained from finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations. Detail analysis reveals the signature of a quadrupolar surface plasmon mode in addition to the two dipolar modes along azimuthal and polar direction of the decahedron. The experimental method and the theoretical formalism presented here provide useful insight into the plasmonic behavior of complex shaped metal nanoparticle supported by a high index substrate.
