Abstract
Multifold Ag nanorods (AgNRs) have demonstrated great potentials in applications such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering technique due to their specially organized nanostructures. However, there is so far no systematic understanding of their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) behaviors. This work comprehensively studied the plasmonic behaviors of AgNRs with 1, 2 and 3 folded arms. LSPR modes with charge oscillations resembling standing waves were excited in all nanostructures. As arm length increases, there were linear relationships between resonance wavelength and arm length, which applied to all LSPR modes studied. In addition, directly proportional relationships between the slopes of the linear functions and arm number were found for same order LSPR modes of AgNRs. For different modes of a specific AgNR, inversely proportional relationships between the slope and the resonance order N were discovered. These findings evidenced AgNR’s standing wave type LSPR characteristics.
