We theoretically studied the introduction of static electric fields to Ag10 nanowire dimer systems, including the effects of this field on optical absorption characteristics and the orbitals responsible for these excitations. Linear-response time-dependent density functional theory computations were performed on three distinct dimer systems: end-to-end, parallel, and 90° angle dimer systems separated by a closest interparticle distance of 7.0 Å. The calculations were performed in the presence of a 0.1 V/Å electric field strength applied in the z and y directions. The orientation of the dimer system and the direction of the applied static electric field each play a significant role in the resulting absorption spectra and the electronic structure of the nanowires. As a result, a dimer system can exhibit a blue shift for the longitudinal excitation and a red shift for the transverse excitation in the presence of one direction of the static electric field but not for the other direction. Notably, the electron density shifts from one nanowire to the other in the presence of the static electric field. Changes in optical characteristics and electronic structure suggest that the usage of a static electric field with a particular spatial configuration of nanowires provides a way to tune the optical properties of the system.
