O. Further, this unique method enables the automatic vertical alignment of the resulting plasmonic nanostructures to the surface of the colloidal substrate, thereby making it possible to design magnetic/plasmonic nanocomposites that allow the dynamic tuning of the plasmon excitation by controlling their orientation using an external magnetic field. The controlled anisotropic growth of colloidal plasmonic nanostructures and their dynamic modulation of plasmon excitation further allow them to be conveniently fixed in a thin polymer film with a well-controlled orientation to display polarization-dependent patterns that may find important applications in information encryption.
