    Area of Science:

    • Plasmonics
    • Nanophotonics
    • Metamaterials

    Background:

    • Nanoantenna structures require tunable components for advanced optical functionalities.
    • Plasmonic nanoparticles offer unique electromagnetic properties at the nanoscale.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the feasibility of a core-shell plasmonic particle as a wavelength-dependent switch.
    • To derive conditions for achieving short- and open-circuit states in such particles.
    • To integrate these switches into nanoantenna designs.

    Main Methods:

    • Quasistatic analysis to determine operating conditions.
    • Modeling noble metals as Drude dielectrics at optical wavelengths.
    • Utilizing an inhomogeneous spherical transmission line model beyond the quasistatic limit.

    Main Results:

    • Identified conditions for short- and open-circuit states: opposite sign permittivity for core and shell.
    • Demonstrated a realistic core-shell particle exhibits both states at different wavelengths.
    • Derived generalized conditions for the short-wavelength regime (non-quasistatic).

    Conclusions:

    • Plasmonic core-shell particles are viable wavelength-dependent switches for nanoantennas.
    • The derived conditions are crucial for designing tunable plasmonic devices.
    • The study provides a pathway for advanced optical circuit integration using plasmonics.
