In this contribution, a numerical study of the optical properties of closely-packed gold nanorods was performed. The studied nano-objects are experimentally grown on a tilted polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate by using physical vapor deposition (PVD). This method creates nanorods tilted to a certain angle with respect to the substrate normal. This geometry allows exciting both transverse and longitudinal modes of the rods. As demonstrated in a previous experimental work, such PVD-grown nano-objects show promising possibilities both as strain gauges or strain-tunable metamaterials if fabricated on a stretchable dielectric substrate. This numerical study is based on experimental data from previous work and pushes further the subject by approaching an optimized nano-structure allowing better strain-sensitivity (particularly by changing the auto-organization of the said nanorods).

We report the mechanical control of plasmonic coupling between gold nanoparticles (GNPs) coated onto a large area wrinkled surface of an elastomeric template. Self-assembly and bottom-up procedures, were used to fabricate the sample and to increase the size of GNPs by exploiting the reduction of HAuCl4 with hydroxylamine. The elastic properties of template, the increase of nanostructure size joined with the particular grating configuration of the surface have been exploited to trigger and handle the coupling processes between the nanoparticles.

AbstractDue to their particular optical and mechanical properties, plasmomechanical devices have become choice candidates in strain sensing applications. Using numerical simulation, a plasmomechanical system consisting of two gold nanoparticles with different shapes and separated by a small gap, deposited onto a deformable polydimethylsiloxane membrane, is investigated. With the aim of understanding the relationship between the plasmonic behavior of gold nanoparticles and induced mechanical deformations, mechanical extension ranging from 0% to 20% is applied to the polydimethylsiloxane membrane. In a first step, a mechanical calculation based on a hyperelastic model for polydimethylsiloxane shows that the interparticle spacing is enhanced nonlinearly by a percentage greater than the externally applied deformation, depending on the shape and size of the nanoparticles as well as the polydimethylsiloxane membrane thickness. Full optical simulation of the deformed nanosystems demonstrates that the plasmonic resonance wavelength is highly sensitive to the applied displacements and is enhanced compared to a basic approach where the gap deformation is taken as equal to the macroscopic applied deformation. The best figure of merit () is obtained for the disk–rod dimer near the strong coupling regime, larger than the values reported in the literature for localized nanoparticle systems.
