The authors synthesized high-quality gold nano-sea-urchin in aqueous solution with an environment-friendly method. They found that the gold nano-sea-urchin can induce the interaction of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) mode with substrate. The SPR peak splits and blueshifts from 630to440nm and the result has potential application for enhanced-Raman scattering, optical communications, and solar cells.
