Abstract
The effect of plasmon excitation on metal nanostructures was investigated under electrochemical potential control with intense pulsed laser illumination. The well-defined Au nano-rod structures showed a distinct thermal effect in the form of shape transformation, in the absence of the plasmon-induced electron transfer reaction. It was found that the shape transformation only occurred under the resonance condition of the localized surface plasmon mode excitation.
