We design and fabricate a totally encapsulated VO2/Au/VO2 composite structure which is aimed to improve the tunability of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak. In this work, the structure will ensure all the Au NPs' resonant electric field area is filled with VO2. The modulation range of the totally encapsulated structure is larger than that of the semi-coated structure. To further improve the modulation range, we also explore the VO2 thickness dependence of the structure's LSPR modulation. With the increase of the top layer VO2 thin film thickness, the modulation range becomes larger. When the thickness is about 80 nm, the absorption peak achieves a largest shift of 112 nm. FDTD solution and equivalent model of series capacitor are used to explain the phenomenon. These results will contribute to the area of metamaterial electromagnetic wave absorber and other fields.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
