\section{Literature review}  The unique properties of metals nanocrystals are enabling state-of-art technologies.  Metal nanocrystals are clusters of metal atoms in a crystalline lattice with the size of 1 to 100 nanometers.  Shape-control in noble metal systems, Ag in particular, is our interest.  This is because the structure-property relationship of Ag nanocrystals is evident, particularly in their capabilities in localized surface plasmon resonance.  That is when light incident upon the surface, collective oscillation of free electrons (also known as plasmons) arises as light wave are trapped within nanocrystals smaller than the wavelength of light \cite{Petryayeva_2011}.

Seed-mediated growth is essentially the polyol synthesis with nanoparticle seeds added to disentangle growth from nucleation.  This allows enhanced control of size and shape.  % Talk about different seeded growth
