In this Letter we provide experimental verification of the interparticle distance dependence of the SERS enhancement factor in 1 mu m gold gapped nanorods. Au dimers are fabricated from electrochemically grown heterogeneous Au-Ag-Au nanorods and deposited on a stretchable elastomer film which allows active and reversible tuning of the interparticle gap on the sub-5-nm level. Significantly, this technique allows the distance dependence to be tracked using a single dimer, thereby avoiding enhancement factor reproducibility issues arising from morphological differences in disparate nanoparticle pairs.
