Abstract

In this chapter we will focus on the development of a theoretical modelling framework, allowing us to account for the optical response of the 2D arrays of gold nanoparticles described in the previous chapters. A theoretical support to the experimental data is of fundamental importance in order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the origins of the optical properties of these systems, and thus to engineer the optical response by selecting a priori the proper morphological characteristics.
