Metamaterials are mainly produced by top-down approaches which are difficult to mass-producing. Nanosize tree-like silver crystals (silver nanodendrites) can have resonators with adjacent branches, contributing a potential as the metamaterials to the silver nanodendrites. In this term, we propose a production method of the silver nanodendrites with utilizing plasmon resonance. The environment for silver nanodendrite growth can be formed by optimizing parameters such as solute concentration.
