Abstract
We report results of numerical simulations of absorption spectra of two-layer and three-layer elongated nanostructures consisting of a metallic core and an outer shell of molecular J-aggregates of cyanine dyes. Calculations of the absorption cross sections are carried out in a wide wavelength range, using the analytical formulas of quasistatic approximation for confocal spheroids and the FDTD-method for rod-like and dumbbell-like composite nanostructures. We study the dependences of the cross sections on the specific shape of an elongated nanostructure, its geometrical parameters, as well as on the transition oscillator strength in the J-band of molecular aggregates. We show that the variation of the shape, sizes, and optical constants of such hybrid complexes makes it possible to control effectively the strength of the plasmon–exciton coupling in the system. As compared to the case of the two-layer and three-layer spherical particles, in this work we demonstrate a number of new features in the absorption spectra of metalorganic nanostructures of spheroidal and complex shapes. The results obtained can be used in the research of novel composite materials for their potential application in hybrid organic/inorganic nanophotonics and optoelectronics.
