Estimating Radiation Scattering Around Plasmonic Nanowires Using Engineered Geometric Features

Abstract

Abstract This study offers an analytical estimation model for radiative scattering at nanoscale. The study focuses on isolated nanowires of arbitrary shape cross sections and uses predictive geometric features and statistical regression to model the wavelength-dependent light-particle interaction. This work proposes to estimate the radiative properties of nanowires based on engineered geometric features, potentially leading to new understandings of how the geometric attributes impact light scattering at nanoscale. A predictive model is designed and tested for estimating radiative scattering around nanowires. Random polygon-shaped cross sections with high degrees-of-freedom are chosen to train and test the models. The derived model can successfully explain scattering across out-sample synthetic plasmonic objects with a 90% R-squared metric.
