Nano Gold - Monodisperse

Due to the quantum size and surface e?ect, noble metal nanoparticles have optical, electromagnetic and chemical properties that are different from those of their bulk-material counterparts. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of spherical gold nanoparticles is shown in Figure 1. They show high efficiency in absorbing and scattering light with their absorbance spectrum tunable by their shape and size.

Nobel metal nanoparticles show enhanced physical properties, Local Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) effects, which result in enhanced absorption, high chemical stability, catalytic activity and nonlinear optical effects as a result. These properties make them of value in microelectronics, sensors utilizing their LSPR properties, in biomedical imaging and diagnostics at the cellular and molecular level as well as in therapy in pharmaceutical applications and in cosmetics.
