Abstract AuNUs exhibit more distinct features compared to simple gold nanosphere, because of their complex structure with spiky and uneven surfaces. We characterized the optical properties of singe gold nanourchins (AuNUs) with sharp and short tips on their surface under single particle dark-field (DF) microscopy and spectroscopy. DF scattering intensities of single AuNUs were investigated as a function of rotation angle at three different wavelengths of 600 nm, 640 nm localized surface plasmon resosnace (LSPR) wavelength, and 700 nm, using the corresponding band pass filters. The DF intensities were periodically changed as a function of rotational angle at the three different wavelengths. Furthermore, the phase of a DF intensity trace was different according to the incident wavelength on a single AuNU, which can be explained by the generation of single dipoles with different wavelengths in multiple directions on the AuNU surface. These findings contribute to a deeper insight of the scattering properties of single AuNUs, and this study will be beneficial for several potential applications, including optical imaging and sensing in the fields of materials science and biology.
