Single-crystal caged gold nanorods with tunable broadband plasmon resonances

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Oct 25;49(83):9630-2. doi: 10.1039/c3cc45506h.

Abstract

We report on the synthesis and characterization of single-crystal caged gold nanorods (CGNRs) which exhibited broadband plasmonic resonances. Redshift of plasmon resonance can be realized by increasing the length, whereas blueshift can be achieved by increasing either the overall width of the cage or the thickness of nanocage walls.
