摘要
We present experimental data on the light scattering properties of linear chains of gold nanoparticles with up to six nanoparticles and an interparticle spacing of 1 nm. A red shift of the surface plasmon resonance with increasing chain length is observed. An exponential model applied to the experimental data allows determination of an asymptotic maximum resonance at a chain length of 10-12 particles. The optical data are compared with analytical and numerical calculation methods (EEM and BEM).
