  • Analyzed nanoparticle shapes including spheres, cubes, and disks.
  • Quantified near-field strength and spectral performance using full-width at three-quarter maximum (FWTQM).

    • Main Results:

    • Spherical nanoparticles exhibited a ~125% to ~200% increase in near-field strength compared to cubical nanoparticles.
    • Spherical nanostructures showed broader spectral performance (~100 nm for dimers, ~170 nm for trimers) than cubes (~60 nm).
    • The superior performance of spheres is attributed to their inherent dipole mode characteristics.

    Conclusions:

    • Nanoparticle shape is a critical factor in achieving efficient self-assembled plasmonic clusters.
    • Spherical nanoparticles demonstrate significant advantages in both near-field enhancement and spectral bandwidth.
    • These findings provide valuable insights for designing next-generation plasmonic devices.
