Calculated values of average electric field intensity enhancement within a 25-nm vicinity of differently shaped Au nanoparticles. Simulation results correspond to (a) semi-ellipsoid- and (b) parallelepiped-shaped Au nanoparticles on glass substrates. Effective geometrical parameters of Au nanoparticles used in FDTD modelling are the same for semi-ellipsoid and parallelepiped shapes and correspond to the data presented in Table 1 for samples R1 to R9, respectively. Labels above the bars indicate the light wavelength, which the maximal electric field intensity enhancement for specific nanoparticle geometry was obtained at.
