Abstract
The controlled in situ growth of ordered gold nanoparticles and nanowire arrays has beenstudied by optically tracking changes in the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)spectrum. A spectrometer and custom-programmed analysis software track changes inthe LSPR spectrum. The peak position, peak height (i.e. extinction intensity)and peak width (e.g. radius of curvature) were tracked over time to quantify thedynamic growth of gold as soon as the system was exposed to a commercial goldenhancement solution. This enables the controlled dynamic growth of nano-objectswithout the necessity of characterizing the growth and aggregation kinetics of thegold enhancement solution. The result was the successful enhancement of theirelectrically conductive and plasmonic properties, as well as the controlled growth andtransformation of line-patterned nanoparticles into conductive particle-based nanowires.
