Matchsticklike, Au-decorated, CdSe-seeded CdS nanorods are demonstrated as being able to retain a significant amount of their original fluorescence properties, exhibiting quantum yields of up to 23%. A proof-of-concept type application of these fluorescent metal-tipped semiconductor nanorods is give...
