摘要
Further progress in the applications of self-assembled nanostructures critically depends on developing a fundamental understanding of the relation between the properties of nanoparticle ensembles and their time-dependent structural characteristics. Following dynamic generation of hot-spots in the self-assembled chains of gold nanorods, we established a direct correlation between ensemble-averaged surface-enhanced Raman scattering and extinction properties of the chains. Experimental results were supported with comprehensive finite-difference time-domain simulations. The established relationship between the structure of nanorod ensembles and their optical properties provides the basis for creating dynamic, solution-based, plasmonic platforms that can be utilized in applications ranging from sensing to nanoelectronics.
