Metamaterial with hyperbolic dispersion properties can effectively manipulate plasmonic resonances. Here, we designed a hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM) substrate with a near-zero dielectric constant in the near-infrared region to manipulate the plasmon resonance of the nano-antenna (NA). For NA arrays, tuning the equivalent permittivity of HMM substrate by modifying the thickness of Au/diamond, the wavelength range of plasmon resonance can be manipulated. When the size of the NA changes within a certain range, the spectral position of the plasmon resonance will be fixed in a narrow band close to the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) wavelength and produce a phenomenon similar to "pinning effect." In addition, since the volume plasmon polaritons (VPP) mode is excited, it will couple with the localized surface plasmon (LSP) mode to generate a spectrum splitting. Therefore, the plasmon resonance is significantly affected and can be precisely controlled by designing the HMM substrate.
