Electrochemically grown monocrystalline gold triangles that can be produced easily at low costs are beneficial substrates for surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy as we have proven for vibrational modes of a self-assembled monolayer of octadecanethiol. Moreover, their SEIRA performance exceeds that of polycrystalline, electron beam lithographic (EBL) triangles. Produced planar but randomly orientated on a substrate, the plasmonic resonances of the monocrystalline triangles can be spectrally tuned via their edge length. It might be interesting for applications that the plasmonic response and the SEIRA signals are almost independent on the light polarization under normal incidence, which is related to the equilateral triangular shape. However, because polarization dependent resonances of linear antennas are expected to deliver stronger SEIRA enhancement, such structures were cut out from the monocrystalline platelets by means of focused ion beam. Also for the linear antennas the monocrystalline ones show a clearly stronger vibrational signal enhancement in comparison to the EBL fabricated counterparts.
