Abstract

Different aspect ratio (length/width) gold nanorods were prepared in aqueous solution by seeding growth method. Aspect ratio of the nanorods was controlled accurately by changing the silver ions concentration. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra demonstrate the regularation that longitudinal plasmon resonance absorption wavelength of gold nanorods reveal red shift with the increase of aspect ratio. Gold nanorods were wrapped with Ag shells by chemical reduction silver ions on its surface. Different from gold nanorods, the transverse modes of the Au@Ag core-shell nanorods have two bands which contributed from the Ag and Au, respectively. On the other hand, centers of longitudinal surface plasmon of the core-shell nanorods exhibit blue shift with the Ag shell thickness increasing.
