Résumé

Metamaterial research has sought to create nanostructures with strong directional optical scattering to control light propagation at the nanoscale. Core-shell architectures comprised of both resonant cores and resonant shells have been suggested as candidate particles in which the spectral overlap of the electric and magnetic dipoles can be controlled to create strong directional scattering. In this study, we present Au-decorated Si core-shell (Si@Au) particles. These were synthesized by first creating Si particles through the thermal disproportionation of hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ), which were then decorated with ∼ 4 nm diameter Au nanoparticles. We characterized the resonant behavior of the core-shell particles using electron energy-loss spectroscopy mapping and optical single-particle scatter spectroscopy. These observations were supported by T-matrix simulations and Mie theory calculations of the scattering spectra, which show that compared to Si, Si@Au particles demonstrate a dampened magnetic dipole resonance for smaller Si core diameters (100 -130 nm) and an enhanced magnetic dipole resonance for larger Si core sizes (150 -200 nm). However, we show that to significantly improve forward scattering intensity, continuous plasmonic shells of ~12 nm thickness are needed.
