title: Intra-surface plasmon coupling between smooth and nanoporous blocks in a gold nanorod.
abstract: We report an intraparticle surface plasmon coupling in Au nanorod structures consisting of half smooth and half nanoporous surface morphology; the relative ratio and the diameter difference between each block were important in determining the overall optical properties of such nanostructures.
