Optical absorbance spectra of Au nanoshells on silica spheres of varying diameter and shell thickness. Nanoshells with the most red-shifted plasmon peak are labeled as “100% complete.” Incomplete nanoshells exhibit plasmon peaks at lower wavelength than the complete shells and the plasmon peak shifts back to the blue as the nanoshell thickness is further increased. The absorbance axis scale is linear.
