Abstract

In this paper we derive an impedance boundary condition to approximate the optical scattering effect of an array of plasmonic nanoparticles mounted on a perfectly conducting plate. We show that at some resonant frequencies the impedance blows up, allowing for a significant reduction of the scattering from the plate. Using the spectral properties of a Neumann-Poincare type operator, we investigate the dependency of the impedance with respect to changes in the nanoparticle geometry and configuration.
