Aqueous solutions containing a high yield of suspended gold nanorods have been successfully synthesized via an electrochemical method. The control of preparing gold nanorods with different aspect ratios can be attained. Their absorption spectral features show a dominant surface plasma band corresponding to the longitudinal resonance, SPl, and its λmax shifts markedly to the red as the aspect ratio is increased. Meanwhile, the dependence of λmax for longitudinal resonance on the mean aspect ratio shows a deviation from the classical electrostatic model prediction at mean aspect ratios around 4 ± 1, where it limits the validity of the classical electrostatic approximation.
In this paper, we explore the optical properties of Ag nanoparticles chemically modified with alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) by measuring the localized surface pla...
In this paper, we explore the optical contributions of the substrate to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectrum of surface confined Ag nanoparticles produced by ...
The self-assembly of monodisperse gold and silver colloid particles into monolayers on polymer-coated substrates yields macroscopic surfaces that are highly active for surface-e...
As the size of material becomes equal to or falls below the nanometer length scale that characterizes the motion of its electrons and thus its properties, the latter become sens...
In 1978 it was discovered, largely through the work of Fleischmann, Van Duyne, Creighton, and their coworkers that molecules adsorbed on specially prepared silver surfaces produ...
