Abstract

Arrays of gold nanowires formed by the process of lithographically patterned nanowire electrodeposition (LPNE) were characterized by a combination of SEM, polarized UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and optical diffraction measurements. A transverse localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) was observed for gold nanowire arrays with an absorption maximum (λ(max)) that varied with nanowire width. Transmission optical diffraction measurements were measured with the even and odd diffraction orders creating an alternating, out of phase sinusoidal intensity pattern characteristic of the LPNE nanowire arrays. The intensities of the even diffraction order maxima were the strongest for nanowires with a width of 115 ± 10 nm; nanowires of this width exhibit a λ(max) of 635 ± 10 nm, verifying that the transverse LSPR has enhanced the optical diffraction signal. Real time total internal reflection diffraction intensity measurements were used to monitor in situ the electrodeposition of silver monolayers onto the gold nanowire arrays.
