The scattering, absorption, and extinction cross sections of Ag nanobox, nanocage, and nanoframe illuminated by a polarized plane wave are studied using the finite element method. Our numerical results show that the plasmon modes (dipole and quadrupole modes) of a single Ag nanocage are red-shifted as the thickness of the wall decreases. In addition, the plasmon modes of porous nanocage and nanoframe are red-shifted relative to the nanobox as the surface porosity of nanocage increases. In particular, the wavelengths at the peaks of these modes almost linearly depend on the surface porosity. Moreover, the scattering efficiency of the dipole mode is much higher than the absorption one. The former is broadband, while the latter narrowband. These modes are confirmed by their far-field scattering patterns, and the corresponding surface electric field distributions are also investigated.
