Dielectric nanoparticles coated with metals (half-shell or semi-shell structures) have attracted attention as potential composite plasmonic nanomaterials with large optical anisotropy and absorption cross-sections. Structures approximately 100 nm in size can excite plasmons in the visible and near-infrared ranges, highlighting their distinct optical properties. This study employed metal semi-shell structures (metal: gold, dielectric: silica) in the Kretschmann configuration to experimentally and numerically demonstrate the optical determination of single-structure orientations through a finite-difference time-domain method. Gold semi-shell structures were fabricated through deposition and etching. These structures were removed from their substrate in ultrapure water and randomly dropped onto a thin gold substrate. In the single structure, we experimentally observed changes in the scattering light spectrum based on the optical geometry of the gold semi-shell at wavelengths ranging from 530 to 700 nm. The obtained results closely resembled those of a simulation and confirmed the presence of eigenmodes in the orientation through electric field analysis. These observations allow for the cost-effective and rapid determination of the orientations of numerous structures that are approximately 100 nm in size, solely through optical methods. This technique is a valuable development for measurement applications in nanostructure orientation control and functionality enhancement.
