56. Side-by-side assembled "bundled" NR structures rather than "stacked" structures can be obtained by the addition of 6 wt % water and 0.2 wt % PS in 10 mL of THF. Nie, Z. Nat. Mater. 2007, 6, 609-614. The "bundled" NR ensembles showed a relatively lower sum of E-field intensity squared as compared with the "stacked" configuration
