Cesium nanorods embedded in cesium halides (CsCl, CsBr, and CsI) show surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption peaks. The size and shape of these cesium nanorods in the cesium halide matrix evolve with time, which gives some uncontrollable data for comparing with the theory. The theory used here was developed by R. Gans. It leads to the good match between experiment and theory for Cs–Cs halide nanocomposites.
