Plasmon-Exciton Resonant Energy Transfer: Across Scales Hybrid Systems

Figure 2

(a) Energy level diagram representing plasmon hybridization in metal nanoshells resulting from interaction among sphere and cavity plasmons. The two hybridized plasmon modes are an antibonding plasmon () and a bonding plasmon resonance (). (b) Illustrating the dependence of the nanoshell’s plasmon resonance energies on the strength of the interaction between the sphere and the cavity’s surface plasmons, determined by the thickness of the metallic shell.
