Seed-Mediated Growth of Gold Nanorods: Limits of Length to Diameter Ratio Control

Figure 4

Effect of chloroauric acid and ascorbic acid content of growth solution on resulting nanorods. In (a), HAuCl4 is varied while holding AA content constant, while in (b), AA content is varied while holding HAuCl4 content constant. Solid symbols are wavelength at peak absorbance, while open symbols are the absorbance of the growth solution at this wavelength. Error bars are standard error of mean.
