Figure 9From: Optical interactions in plasmonic nanostructures Plasmon hybridization schemes for (a) nanorod dimers in different geometric arrangements and (b) nanorods initially arranged side-to-side and then increasingly longitudinally offset as a function of the center-to-center offset. (c) Surface charge density of interacting gold nanorods placed 1.5 nm apart and with dimensions 78 nm × 24 nm, calculated using the boundary integral method (From Ref. [103]).
