Abstract
  • A full control of the interaction between confined plasmons and point sources of radiation is a central issue in molecular plasmonics. In this paper, a theoretical contribution towards a physical understanding on the localized surface plasmons excited into metallic nanocones by a point dipole is given. A numerical approach based on the discrete dipole approximation is applied to determine the modifications of the dipole decay rates for varying geometrical parameters of the dipole-metal nanoparticle system. Results declare the centrality of the cone aperture to control the plasmon resonances and to handle the effects it induces on the lifetime of a point emitter. A full spectral tuning of the resonances in the decay rates can be achieved by operating on a unique spatial degree of freedom: by tailoring the aperture alone, total decay rates 10(5) times higher than the free-space value can be obtained at short distances from the metal in a large region of the spectral range. Quite unexpectedly, size dependence of the antenna is found to have a marginal role if only a lifetime manipulation is desired. It becomes, instead, a crucial aspect of the problem when large quantum yields are required. Results presented in this work shed light on spontaneous emission modification due to interaction with plasmonic nanocones of different shapes and are relevant for a number of applications in the fields of nanoplasmonics and fluorescence microscopy.
