We report a facile particle mediated aggregation protocol to synthesize "sea urchin"-like gold mesoparticles with tailored surface topography via secondary nucleation and growth process. Surprisingly, these multitip Au are capable of self-assembling into monolayer or multiple layer arrays on Si substrates convincing reproducibility homogeneity over large areas. Raman measurements show that individual sea urchin-like multitipped exhibit high enhancement surface-enhanced scattering (SERS). In...
