Siva Kumar Krishnan, Rodrigo Esparza, Umapada Pal
Abstract
Controlled synthesis of anisotropic bimetallic nanostructures with tunable morphology is of great current interest for their applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), plasmonics, and catalysis. Despite huge effort that has been devoted so far, fabrication of bimetallic nanostructures with controlled morphology and size remained to be a great challenge, especially when their shapes are anisotropic.
