Abstract :
Gold nanorods manifest a tunable plasmon resonance with light in the visible to near-infrared regions of the spectrum, and have been proposed for use in spectrally selective coatings on glass. However, details of shape and packing density have a significant effect on the optical properties of these nanoparticle coatings. Here the paper shows how these effects can be controlled and exploited to produce a flexible spectral response.
