Scattering cross section and absorption cross section of a 100 nm Au nanosphere with (a) Coating thickness t = 10, 20, 30, 40 nm. (b) With refractive index of coating dielectric n = 2, 3, 4, 5. Angular scattering (a. u.) of (c) a 100 nm Au nanosphere with coating thickness t = 10, 20, 30, 40 nm. The refractive index of coating dielectric index n is set as 3. (d) 100 nm Au nanosphere with n = 2, 3, 4, 5; t = 10 nm. The Y-axis value is square of the scattering intensity. Calculated scattering-to-absorption cross section (S) as (e) the function of t with n = 3.4 and a 120 nm Au core. (f) As the function of n with t = 15 nm and a 120 nm Au core.
