Hi,

You should check methods related to NSL (Nanosphere Litography). I advice You to check papers published by Prof. Michael Giersig. He put much impressive contribution in the field You are interested!

Michele Carboni

Hi Wojciech. check this http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2014/nr/c4nr00254g#!divAbstract

Any way I found that adding chloride ions to silver precursor solution (to make bigger nanoparticles) when preparing nanoparticles according to the method proposed by Metraux the tips tends to be sharper

Sorry, wrong name. I meant to reply to the OP :(

Anming Hu

Hi Michele,

Thanks a lot! this saves us lots of time.

No problem. Good Luck with the experiment.
