Circular Dichroism of Gold Bipyramid Dimers.

ABSTRACT: Chiral nanomaterials attract broad attention, as they offer new possibilities of modulation of optical properties and dissymmetry factors outperforming organic materials. Among various nanoparticles, plasmonic bipyramids present numerous advantages as building blocks of chiral nanomaterials (well-defined modulation of optical properties with the morphology of nanoparticles, narrow optical resonances, and high size and shape uniformity of synthesized particles). We study different possible orientations of gold bipyramids with respect to each other in dimers obtained by wet chemistry methods. For circularly polarized incident light we evaluate linear optical cross sections and plasmonic local field enhancement using COMSOL Multiphysics. We observe coupling of the nanoparticles' local fields
