Fig. 1. Schematic of the Au/AgNR for FDTD. The D 1 , L 1 , α , and D 2 , L 2 indicate the diameter, length, and cone angle of AuNBP and AgNR, respectively.

Fig. 2. Reaction process for achieving a high-purity Au/AgNRs colloid through CTAC-assisted synthesis.

Fig. 3. TEM images of (A) AuNBPs, and (B)–(E) Au/AgNRs with different lengths (150–800 nm). Scale bars = 200 nm .

Fig. 4. (A) Absorption spectra of AuNBPs and Au/AgNRs corresponding to the TEM images in Fig. 3 . The SPRL of Au/AgNRs with addition of increasing AgNO 3 at 5 μL intervals: (B) 10–30 μL, and (C) 35–140 μL.

Fig. 5. TEM images of Au/AgNRs with different diameters. Scale bars = 200 nm .

Fig. 6. Experimental optical spectra and FDTD calculated SPR (including SPR T and SPR L ) of (A) AuNBP, and (B) Au/AgNR (D = 30 nm ) with AR from 3 to 10. The inset in Fig. 6(B) shows the FDTD calculated SPR L of the pure AgNR (AR = 6).

Fig. 7. SERS spectra obtained using R6G as a probing molecule. (A) Spectra obtained using samples immersed in solutions with R6G concentrations of 10 − 6 , 10 − 7 , 10 − 8 , 10 − 9 , 10 − 10 , 10 − 11 , and 10 − 12 m o l / L . (B) Relationship between SERS intensity and R6G concentration. (C) SERS of R6G obtained on the surface of Au/AgNRs and AuNRs.
