Optical Properties of Colloidal Silver Nanowires.

ABSTRACT: Silver nanowires are used in many applications, ranging from transparent conductive layers to Raman substrates and sensors. Their performance often relies on their unique optical properties that emerge from localized surface plasmon resonances in the ultraviolet. To tailor the nanowire geometry for a specific application, a correct understanding of the relationship between the wire's structure and its optical properties is therefore necessary. However, while the colloidal synthesis of silver nanowires typically leads to structures with pentagonally twinned geometries, their optical properties are often modeled assuming a cylindrical cross-section. Here we highlight the strengths and limitations of such an approximation by numerically calculating the optical and electrical response of penta
