title: Thermal annealing of Au nanorod self-assembled nanostructured materials: morphology and optical properties.
abstract: Three-dimensional Au nanorod and Au nanoparticle nanostructured materials were prepared by layer-by-layer self-assembly. The plasmonic properties of the Au nanorod and Au nanoparticle self-assembled nanostructured materials (abbreviated as AuNR and AuNP SANMs) are tunable by the controlled self-assembly process. The effect of thermal annealing at 180 and 500 degrees C to the morphologies, plasmonic properties and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) responses of these SANMs were investigated. According to the experimental results, these properties correlate with the structure of the SANMs.
