Light polarization properties of three fold symmetry gold nanoparticles: Model and experiments
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 13 (2012) no. 8, pp. 830-836.

In this study, we demonstrate that any complex nanostructure that belongs to Cn, with n3, symmetry point group for along at least one dimension displays apolar linear response to light input when the incoming wave vector is parallel to the Cn axis. Triangle and star shaped gold nanoparticles were designed and fabricated by electron beam lithography (EBL) technique. The apolar behavior of such nanostructures was experimentally confirmed by way of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) properties and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements.

Dans cet article, nous démontrons que toutes les nanostructures, même de géométrie complexe, qui appartiennent au groupe de symétrie ponctuel Cn avec n3 ont une réponse optique linéaire ne dépendant pas de la polarisation de la lumière incidente, si son vecteur dʼonde est parallèle à lʼaxe de symétrie Cn. Nous avons fabriqué des nanoparticules dʼor en forme de triangle et dʼétoile par lithographie électronique. Leur comportement apolaire est confirmé expérimentalement par des mesures sur les résonances plasmon et par diffusion Raman exaltée de surface.
