- Abstract
- In this report we show the application of silica coated gold nanorods to optical data storage. We show controlled growth of a thick silica shell onto gold nanorods. The coated nanorods are transferred into a PVA matrix and data patterns are recorded. A silica layer on the nanorods dissipates the heat and the matrix does not melt, allowing reliable data storage.
