Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The unique size-dependent optical and electronic properties of metal nanoparticles have generated significant interest in methods to reliably assemble these materials on surfaces. We have previously…

Assessment of Functionalization of Gold Nanoparticles

Lead Institution
University of Oregon
Principal Investigator
James Hutchison
Project type
Limited Scope
Gold nanoparticle cores were prepared by the citrate reduction route. To facilitate functionalization by thiols, anions were stripped from the particles, leaving behind bare gold cores. A key method…
