Abstract: "A photoinduced method
for converting large quantities of silver nanospheres into triangular
nanoprisms is
reported. The photo-process has been characterized by time-dependent
ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy,
allowing for the observation of several key intermediates in and
characteristics of the conversion process. This light-driven process results
in a colloid with distinctive optical properties that directly relate to the
nanoprism shape of the particles. Theoretical calculations coupled with
experimental observations allow for the assignment of the nanoprism plasmon
bands and for the first identification of two distinct quadrupole plasmon
resonances for a nanoparticle. Unlike the spherical particles they are derived
from that Rayleigh tight-scatter in the blue, these nanoprisms exhibit
scattering in the red, which could be useful in developing multicolor
diagnostic labels on the basis not only of nanoparticle composition and size
but also of shape."
