Nanosphere lithography (NSL) is an effective technique to fabricate nanoparticles with tailored arrangement and dimensions. We used this method to obtain periodic arrays of silver nanotriangles using beads of polystyrene as a mask on glass and silicon substrates. Periodic hexagonal arrangements of semi-spherical nanoparticles are created by subsequent annealing. Correlation between the morphology of the nanoparticles and their plasmonic signatures indicate different types of resonances depending on size and shape. The utilization of these nanoparticles as an environment to locally excite copper porphyrin aggregates is discussed.
