Effect of Surface Scattering of Electrons on Ratios of Optical Absorption and Scattering to Extinction of Gold Nanoshell

Abstract Gold nanoshell’s high light scattering and absorption at its resonance wavelength have found applications in biomedical imaging and photothermal therapy. However, at nanoscale, metallic material’s dielectric function is affected by nanoparticle’s size, mainly via a mechanism called surface...
