Abstract
Plasmonic hotspots in single gold nanostars are located at the tips and can be excited selectively by laser light as evidenced by photoelectron emission microscopy. Selectivity is achieved through wavelength and polarization of the excitation light. Comparing photoelectron emission intensity and dark-field scattering spectra of the same individual nanostars reveals differences in terms of observable plasmon resonance wavelengths and field enhancements. Differences are explained with the underlying near- and far-field processes of the two techniques. © 2011 American Chemical Society.
