Figure 3: Sources of heterogeneity in single nanocrystal LSPR spectra.
From: Direct observation of narrow mid-infrared plasmon linewidths of single metal oxide nanocrystals
(a) Experimental observation of correlation between peak energy and peak asymmetry. (b) Simulations of peak shapes resulting from variations in the strength of frequency-dependent damping can account for heterogeneity in peak asymmetry. The α value of each peak is shown. (c) Simulated spectra over a range of electron concentrations account for variations in peak energy.
