Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) can be excited on metal nanoparticles. The LSPR occurs when the oscillation frequency of electrons is equal to that of the incident light. At this frequency, the absorption of metal nanoparticles can be strengthened. The LSPR effect has been applied to the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In this study, absorption of Ag-Si core-shell nanoparticle clouds is investigated. The finite-difference time-domain method is applied to obtain the absorption of particulate media, with core-shell nanoparticle randomly distributed. Effects of particle volume fraction, core and shell radii, spherical and ellipsoidal shapes are analyzed. Tuning of absorption peaks by different factors is also discussed.
