Peculiar Properties of Loop Nanoantennas

The distinguishing features of circular loop nanoantennas based on cylindrical nanorods are thoroughly investigated by using numerical simulations. In particular, resonances of the input impedance are related to the resonant behavior of the plasmonic mode of the straight nanowire, and the phenomena...
