Abstract
) in all directions. When illuminated, the aligned AgNW coatings exhibit angle- and polarization-dependent colors, and the polarized reflection anisotropy can be as large as 25. This large optical anisotropy is due to a combination of alignment, polarization response, and angle-dependent scattering of the aligned AgNWs.
