Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A fast dark‐field scattering technique capturing full broadband spectra with millisecond time‐resolution</bold> enables us to monitor the growth or assembly of single nano‐objects in situ and in real time. Applying this technique to study the growth of single gold nanorods, together with scanning electron microscopy and finite‐difference time‐domain simulations, reveals precise quantitative information about gold nanorod growth kinetics. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t8bw0sh" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
