Plasmon resonances of gold nanostars

In this work a fully three-dimensional parameterization model for the investigations of gold nanostars by the ultraspherical Spectral Boundary Integral Equation method has been developed. The set of the numerical results provide guidelines for a choice of the system parameters for tuning. These can be exploited for new approaches to medical diagnoses or testing for environmental contaminants.
