Introduction Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon plays a significant role in the modern nano- biophysics, especially, due to its promising applications in biosensing [1], surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) [2] and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) [3, 4]. It is known that the spectral position of LSPR and accompanying local electric field enhance- ment strongly depend on the shape and size of the nanoparticles [5], as well as on the interparticle distance and the level of ordering in the surface-bound nanoparticle arrays [6]. Therefore, depending on the plasmon resonance parameters needed, noble metal nanostructures of different sizes and morphologies are used as LSPR-supporting materials. For example, spherical Au nanoparticles of different sizes has been exploited for the response enhancement of the surface Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2015. V. 18, N 4. P. 410-415. doi: 10.15407/spqeo18.04.410 © 2015, V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 411 plasmon resonance sensing system, and the optimal nanoparticle diameter of 40 nm was reported to give the best amplification [7]. Henry et al. [8] investigated Ag nanocube ensembles in water and individual Ag nano- cubes on the glass substrate and found striking diffe- rences in respective LSPR spectra due to an expressed multimodal LSPR excitation in the latter case. Size- and shape-dependent LSPR properties of noble metal nano- disks [9], nanorods [10] and nanopyramids [11] have been also demonstrated. From the theoretical point of view, optical properties of the plasmonic nanoparticles are studied by means of analytical and numerical me- thods to simulate interaction of electromagnetic waves with nanoparticles. One of the most common analytical techniques is Mie scattering approach [12], which is applicable only for the spherical or ellipsoidal particles, while for the nonspherical nanostructures numerical methods are usually preferred. One of them is the finite- difference time-domain method (FDTD) [13], which advantages and disadvantages have been reported earlier [14]. In this work, we experimentally investigate the LSPR properties of chemically synthesized trigonal and hexagonal Au nanoprisms deposited on the glass substrates and theoretically simulate LSPR spectra of these nanostructures by means of the finite-difference time-domain method. The analysis of local electric field distribution near the surface of trigonal and hexagonal Au nanoprisms with different lateral dimensions is also presented. 2. Microscopy of trigonal and hexagonal Au nanoprisms deposited on glass substrates Fabrication technology of the studied samples was described in the previous work [15]. Briefly, after synthesis Au nanocrystals were separated from the disperse medium by centrifugation (centrifuge OPN-8, 800 min –1 , 60 min), rinsed with distilled water, precipitate was resuspended in the distilled water. The crystals suspension washed from the stabilizer was drop- casted on the glass substrates and dried at the room temperature. According to the protocol, plain Au nanoprisms have the shapes of regular triangle, hexagon and truncated triangle with the average linear size of 100 nm and height of 60 nm. The microphotographs of the synthesized Au nanocrystals (Fig. 1a, b), dark field image of large Au crystal (Fig. 1c) and electron diffraction pattern of the latter crystal (Fig. 1d) confirming the nanoprism mono- crystallinity are presented in Fig. 1. The microphoto- graphs were obtained using transmission electron micro- scope JEM 100CX (JEOL, Japan) with the accelerating voltage of U = 100 kV. Optical microscopy of the samples was performed using OLYMPUS GX-41 micro- scope (Мelitek-Ukraine, Ukraine) with the ×100 objective in the light field mode. Optical microscopy revealed a huge spread of nanoprism sizes and the effect of nanocrystals aggregation (Fig. 1e, f). a b c d e f Fig. 1.

Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 412 3. LSPR in the trigonal and hexagonal Au nanoprisms deposited on glass substrates Light extinction spectra of the samples were measured using the LSPR spectrometer “Nanoplasmon-003” (V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, NAS of Ukraine). Light absorbance measurements have shown the existence of a broad complex absorption band within the spectral range 500…1000 nm with a distinct peak in the visible region at 591 nm (Fig. 2). The appearance of this absorption band can be attributed to the LSPR excitation in surface-bound Au nanoparticles, while its complex form and broadening are possibly observed due to distribution of shapes and sizes of Au nanoparticles with several dominating geometrical configurations. To investigate theoretically the LSPR spectra of trigonal and hexagonal Au nanoprisms, we modelled the light extinction cross-section spectra for trigonal Au nanoprisms with side dimensions of 100 nm (model 1, Fig. 3a), 25 nm (model 1, Fig. 3b), hexagonal Au nanoprisms with side dimensions of 33 nm (model 2, Fig. 3a) and 8 nm (model 2, Fig. 3b), which were obtained by truncation of trigonal nanoprisms to get regular hexagonal nanoprism. Additionally, calculations were performed for the combination of trigonal Au nanoprism with side dimension of 25 nm and hexagonal Au nanoprism with side dimension of 8 nm with interparticle distance of 30 nm (model 3, Fig. 3b), which models the influence of nanoprism shape distribution on the light extinction spectrum. In all the considered models, nanoprisms were located on glass substrates and the height of the nanoprisms was equal to 60 nm. All calculations were performed using the commercial FDTD package (Lumerical FDTD Solutions, trial version, Lumerical Solutions, Inc., Canada). The experimental absorbance spectrum and the theoretical extinction cross-section spectra corresponding to the abovementioned models are presented in Fig. 3. As it can be seen from Fig. 3, simulated and experimental LSPR spectral positions and shapes are different. This can be explained by several factors related to the fact that theoretical spectra correspond to individual nanoparticles and experimental spectrum characterizes the whole sample. First, the interaction between the nanoparticles was not taken into account. Second, the effect of nanoprisms aggregation was present in the sample. Third, there were a broad distribution of nanoparticle sizes and several different nanoparticle shapes in the same sample. However, it should be noted that the best agreement with the experimental spectrum was produced by the model 2 (Fig. 3a). Therefore, we can conclude that the experimentally observed LSPR response results mainly from the 100 nm hexagonal Au nanoprisms, but the contribution of Au nanoprisms with other shapes and sizes is still significant. 400 600 800 1000 1200 0.06 0.08 0.10 0.12 0.14 A b so rb an ce Wavelength, nm 591 nm Fig. 2.

All nanoprisms are located on the glass substrates and illuminated with orthogonal polarizations of the normally incident linearly-polarized light. 4. Electric field distribution in the vicinity of the Au nanoprisms on glass substrates From the practical point of view, it is important to understand the relation between the geometrical parameters of plasmonic nanostructures and their performance as optical amplifiers, e.g., for application in surface-enhanced spectroscopy. To answer the question what shape and size of the abovementioned Au nanoprisms can provide higher signal enhancement, we calculated the electric field intensity distributions on the top bases of the investigated Au nanoprisms under the LSPR conditions using the FDTD method. Simulation results for the Au nanoprism models mentioned in Section 3 are presented in Figs 5 and 6. Calculations were performed for two orthogonal polarizations of the normally incident linearly- polarized light with the wavelength corresponding to the LSPR spectral position of the respective Au nanoprism model.

The spatial electric field intensity distribution on the top bases of Au nanoprisms: (a), (b) trigonal nanoprism (model 1 in Fig. 3a); (c), (d) hexagonal nanoprism (model 2 in Fig. 3a). All nanoprisms are located on the glass substrates and illuminated with orthogonal polarizations of the normally incident linearly-polarized light. As it can be seen from the obtained electric field intensity distributions (Fig. 5), there is a great enhancement of the electric field at the corners of the nanoprisms (from tens to thousands times, depending on the nanoprism shape and light polarization). If we compare the field enhancements at the corners of the trigonal and hexagonal nanoprisms, we shall see that it is about 10 times greater for the trigonal nanoprism than for the hexagonal one. This implies the opportunity to exploit the trigonal nanoprisms for surface-enhanced spectroscopy. To examine how the size of the nanoparticles influences the enhancement of the electric field, the same simulation was performed for trigonal and hexagonal Au nanoprisms of larger size (model 1 and model 2 in Fig. 3a) (Fig. 6). From these results it is evident that while the size of the Au nanoprism increases from 25 to 100 nm (trigonal) and from 8 to 33 nm (hexagonal), the maximum field intensity enhancement increases approximately 10-fold. In summary, the highest local electric field enhancement among the considered Au nanoprisms, up to 18000 times, was exhibited by the trigonal Au nanoprism with side dimension of 100 nm, when they are illuminated with light polarized normally to one of the triangular base sides. To achieve the maximum performance and reproducibility of such nanostructures for surface-enhanced spectroscopy and LSPR sensing applications, they should be prepared as highly ordered nanoparticle arrays with uniform shape and size. 5. Conclusions In conclusion, it was confirmed for the studied trigonal and hexagonal Au nanoprisms deposited on the glass substrates that the LSPR spectra depend on the nanocrystals shape and size. Experimentally obtained and theoretically modelled LSPR positions differ due to the high spread of the Au nanoprism shapes and sizes and aggregation of the nanocrystals. Local electric field intensity modeling under the LSPR conditions have demonstrated the promising potential of Au nanoprisms for surface-enhanced spectroscopy, with the highest enhancement provided by a 100 nm trigonal Au nanoprism on the glass substrate.
