Strong Plasmon-Mie Resonance in Si@Pd Core-Ω Shell Nanocavity.

The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) can be used to enhance the generation of the hot electrons in plasmon metal nanocavity. In this paper, Pd nanomembrane (NMB) is sputtered on the surface of Si nanosphere (NS) on glass substrate to form the Si@Pd core-Ω shell nanocavity. A plasmon-Mie resonance is induced in the nanocavity by coupling the plasmon resonance with the Mie resonance to control the optical property of Si NS. When this nanocavity is excited by near-infrared-1 (NIR-1, 650 nm-900 nm) femtosecond (fs) laser, the luminescence intensity of Si NS is dramatically enhanced due to the synergistic interaction of plasmon and Mie resonance. The generation of resonance coupling regulates resonant mode of the nanocavity to realize multi-dimensional nonlinear optical response, which can be utilized in the fields of biological imaging and nanoscale light source.
