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

Figure 5

Effect of AA/Au molar ratio in growth solution on aspect ratio of resulting nanorods. Square symbols are wavelength at peak absorbance, while circles are the absorbance of the growth solution at the peak. Black symbols are for samples prepared using 600  L of HAuCl4 solution. Open symbols are for samples prepared using 580  L HAuCl4. Grey symbols are for samples prepared using 560  L HAuCl4 solution. Error bars are standard error of mean.
