Relationship Between Particle Size Distribution/Particle Shape and Optical Properties of Gold Nanoparticles

Introduction

Metallic nanoparticles are known for their specific properties and are employed in a wide range of fields. In particular, gold nanoparticles are attracting attention in fields such as bioimaging and high-density data storage media because its optical properties change according to particle size and shape. This article presents the findings of using the UV-2700 UV-VIS spectrophotometer to measure changes in optical properties according to differences in the size and shape of gold nanoparticles, the SALD-7500nano nano particle size analyzer to examine particle size distribution, and the SPM9700HT scanning probe microscope to examine particle shape.
