Experimental data for controlling thin silica shell growth around gold nanorods

The effect of different synthesis conditions on thin silica shells grown around gold nanorods was investigated. This dataset contains the data analyzing the different nanorod samples.<br>All data are given as comma-separated values (CSV), with the first line describing the quantity and unit of each column.<br><strong>Raman spectroscopy</strong><em>Raman.csv</em>: Raman spectra of different nanorod samples with 10 mM pyridine solution<br><strong>Transmission electron microscopy</strong>Data analyzed from transmission electron micrographs of different nanorod samples.<em>TEM_core.csv</em>: Measured nanorod core sizes and aspect ratios<em>TEM_shell.csv</em>: Measured nanorod shell thicknesses<br><strong>Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy</strong><em>UV-Vis.csv</em>: UV/Vis absorbance spectra of different nanorod samples
