Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj41096jk" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Aluminum V-antennas on silicon display significant alterations to their plasmon resonances due to the presence of the optically-dense silicon substrate and adjacent antennas, as well as a high sensitivity to the substrate's native oxide layer. The effect of the aluminium band-gap is also shown to affect the V-antennas' resonances.</p> </abstract>
