title: The direct growth of gold rods on graphene thin films.
abstract: Long gold rods were directly grown on a reduced graphene oxide (RGO) surface by seed-mediated and seedless approaches for the fabrication of a novel Raman scattering platform. The Raman scattering signal from RGO was significantly enhanced by 34-fold at the tip of the grown gold rod.
