<div>Gold nanostars display exceptional field enhancement properties and tunable resonant modes that can be leveraged to create effective imaging tags or phototherapeutic agents, or to design novel hot-electron based photocatalysts. From a fundamental standpoint, they represent important tunable platforms to study the dependence of hot carrier energy and dynamics on plasmon band intensity and position. Toward the realization of these platforms, holistic approaches taking into account both theory and experiments to study the fundamental behavior of these</div><div>particles are needed. Arguably, the intrinsic difficulties underlying this goal stem from the inability to rationally design and effectively synthesize nanoparticles that are sufficiently monodispersed to be employed for corroborations of the theoretical results without the need of single particle experiments. Herein, we report on our concerted computational and experimental effort to design, synthesize, and explain the origin and morphology-dependence of the plasmon modes of a novel gold nanostar system, with an approach that builds upon the well-known plasmon hybridization model. We have synthesized monodispersed samples of gold nanostars with finely tunable morphology employing seed-mediated colloidal protocols, and experimentally observed narrow and spectrally resolved harmonics of the primary surface plasmon resonance mode both at the single particle level (via electron energy loss spectroscopy) and in ensemble (by UV-Vis and ATR-FTIR spectroscopies). Computational results on complex anisotropic gold nanostructures are validated experimentally on samples prepared colloidally, underscoring their importance as ideal testbeds for the study of structure-property relationships in colloidal nanostructures of high structural complexity.</div>

AbstractGold nanorods have a strong surface plasmon band at the near infrared region. The absorbed light energy is then converted to heat. Since near infrared light can penetrate deeply into tissue, gold nanorods are expected to be used as a contrast agent for bioimaging using the near infrared light and photosensitizers for photothermal therapy. The surface plasmon bands of intravenously injected the gold nanorods were directly monitored from the mouse abdomen by using a spectrophotometer equipped with an integrating sphere. The absorbance at 900 nm from PEG5,000-modified gold nanorods immediately increased after injection and reached a plateau. The injection of phosphatidylcholine-modified gold nanorods also increased the absorbance at 900 nm, but the absorbance decreased single exponentially with a 1.3-min half-life. To demonstrate photothermal tumor therapy, the PEG-modified gold nanorods were directly injected into subcutaneous tumors in mice, then, near infrared laser light was irradiated to the tumor. After the treatment, significant suppression of tumor growth was observed.
