Simulations and Experimental Characterization of Plasmonic Metals(Au and Pd)

Abstract

Surface plasmon frequency of different metal thin films Au, Ag, Cu, Ti, and Pd is simulated considering it as an important parameter for integra- tion into existing UV-VIS applications. Au is lucrative for 2.6 eV integra- tion and usage, while other metals Ag, Cu, Ti and Pd are responsive in UV regime up to 6.6 eV.
