The presented project explores the optical properties of magnetoplasmonic Au/Ni core-shell structures. The work aims at controlling dimensions and parameters in order to influence and analyze the optical properties of the nanostructures. The softwares utilized for the simulations were COMSOL Multiphysics 5.1 and MATLAB. Experimental results were acquired from labs done at Ångströms laboratory. From the research based study where the gold to nickel ratio was influenced, it was observed that the transmissions for the nanostructures at the differing wavelengths produced transmissions of similar bearings. Modes for certain wavelengths were found in correspondence with the transmissions and could potentially render explanations for influence on the optical properties of the nanostructures. Conclusively, it can be stated that the optical properties of the nanostructures could be influenced and controlled by varying the dimensions and properties of the said structure. Differing dimensions corresponded to noteworthy changes in the cross sections, the transmissions as well as the mode formations.
