The magneto-plasmonic properties of Ag–Co composite nano-triangle arrays are investigated. Both plasmonic and magnetic properties of the samples are found to strongly depend on the composition ratio of Ag and Co. Composite nano-triangle arrays exhibit strong plasmonic properties and low magneto-optics (MO) effect with high composition of Ag, and vice versa. The enhanced magneto-optic effect is also observed to be coincident with the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties, i.e. the maximum Faraday effect occurs at the LSPR wavelength, which is due to locally high E-field. The composite triangle arrays with the 60% Co content show high plasmonic—MO performances characterized by magneto-optics—plasmonic correlation factor. All experimental results are confirmed by finite-difference time domain calculations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
