Here we design a sodium-based hybrid plasmonic waveguide consisting of an elliptical Si nanowire separated from the Na film by a low-index SiO2 layer. The modal properties of the proposed waveguide are thoroughly investigated by using the finite element method with a focus on parameters such as ...
A sodium-based hybrid plasmonic waveguide consists of the Na film and wedge-shape Si ridge waveguide is designed. The overall performance of the waveguide and its application as a nano-laser are studied by using the finite element method (FEM) with emphasis on effective index, propagation length...
The preferred method of AuNP synthesis is the well-established Turkevich method, and it is based upon the chemical reduction of HAuCl4 in a variety of media. AuNPs are then formulated with a variety of polymer matrices used to fabricate nanocomposites for specific applications; the literature ...
