Numerical simulations of local plasmonic field distortion for multimodal core-shell gold-based nanoparticles

The paper continues [12] the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) mathematical modeling method application of electric field distortion near the surface of spherical gold nanoparticles functionalized by two shells: water shell as a model substance for a drug and SiO2 as a capsuling silicon polymer. During the simulation, parameters such as particle size, the thickness of surface layers, the wavelength of exciting radiation, and the dependence of the effective amplification of the E component of electromagnetic field on the thickness of the polymer and water layers were investigated. The prospects of the theoretical approach of core-shell complexes for theranostics tasks are shown. The data presented can be used as a basis for controlled chemical synthesis of spherical nanoparticles.
