Multilayered nanoshells have attracted much attention due to their unique optical, electronic and magnetic properties. In this work, numerical calculation using discrete dipole approximation (DDA) is conducted to investigate the quad-layered metal nanoshell consisting of a particle with a dielectric silica (SiO2) core, inner cadium sulfide (CdS) shell, middle indium tin oxide (ITO) shell and outer metal silver (Ag) shell. The phenomenon is interpreted by plasmon hybridization theory and the Ag–ITO–CdS–SiO2 multilayered nanoshells are studied by extinction spectra of localized surface plasmon resonance. The variation in the spectrum peak with nanoparticle thickness and refractive index of the surrounding medium is derived. The electric field enhancement contour around the nanoparticles under illumination is analyzed at the plasmon resonance wavelength. The [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] modes red-shift with the refractive index of the surrounding medium and increase in the layer thickness causes either blue-shift or red-shift as shown by the extinction spectra. The mechanism of the red-shift or blue-shift is discussed. The [Formula: see text] mode blue-shifts and furthermore, the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] modes of the Ag coated multilayered nanostructure are noticeable by comparing the extinction efficiency spectra of the Au–ITO–CdS–SiO2 and Ag–ITO–CdS–SiO2 multilayered nanoshells.

ABSTRACTWe visually observed color changes of discontinuous gold surfaces on paper substrates through localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) at room temperature due to surface diffusion of gold nanostructures. Isolated nanoparticles and an uncompleted nanosheet of gold were obtained by thermal vapor deposition. After preservation for 8 months in air at room temperature, the particle sizes and shapes remarkably changed with color changes. The surface diffusion of the discontinuous gold on the paper would be derived from solid-state dieting, resulting in the growth of the nanosheet defect and coalescence of the nanoparticles. This is due to the total energy minimization of the surfaces of gold nanostructures and the paper and the interface between gold and the paper.
