Abstract

A two-particle model is proposed which enables the assessment of particle-particle interactions in large, sparse arrays of randomly distributed plasmonic metal nanoparticles of arbitrary geometry in inhomogeneous environments. The two-particle model predicts experimentally observed peak splittings in the extinction cross section spectrum for randomly distributed gold nanocones on a TiO 2:Er 3+ thin film with average center-to-center spacings of 3-5 diameters. The main physical mechanism responsible is found to be interference between the incident field and the far-field component of the single-particle scattered field which is guided along the film.
