Flat silver nanocrystals have been synthesized by using a soft chemical procedure that involves mixing two reverse micellar solutions. The resulting “nanodisks” display highly anisotropic optical properties attributed to their shape anisotropy. A dark‐field TEM image of such a nanodisk, illustrating its single crystal nature, is shown in the Figure.
