Metal nanowires are advantageous plasmonic nanostructures as they offer large interaction volumes, tunable resonances and good coupling opportunities. An additional dielectric coating can be used for distance control but it must in no case degrade the plasmonic properties. We have synthesized silver nanowires of 70nm in diameter with a nm-sized silica shell of homogeneous and smooth surface quality using a modified Stöber method [1]. Transmission electron microscopy, dark-field scattering spectroscopy, electron-energy loss spectroscopy and thorough numerical simulations have been used to study individual nanowires and thus introduce them as usable building blocks for integrated hybrid plasmonic systems.
