In this letter, we report a chemical route for synthesizing SiO2@Au core-shell nanoparticles. The process includes four steps: i) preparation of the silica cores, ii) grafting gold nanoparticles over SiO2 cores, iii) priming of the silica-coated gold nanoparticles with 2 and 10 nm gold colloids and finally iv) formation of complete shell. The optical extinction spectra were experimentally measured and compared to numerical calculations in order to confirm the dimensions deduced from SEM images. Finally, the potential of such core-shell nanoparticles for biosensing was probed by means of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering measurements and revealed higher sensitivities with much lower gold quantity of such core-shell nanoparticles compared to Au nanoparticles exhibiting similar diameters.
Homogeneous single phase GdCrO3 nanoparticles are synthesized by a modified-hydrothermal synthesis. The sample shows a compensation temperature at 128 K, below which the DC magnetization becomes negative and positive at low temperatures due to the co
We present a simple method to prove the presence of an organic shell around silver nanoparticles. This method is based on the comparison between optical extinction measurements of isolated nanoparticles and Mie calculations predicting the expected wa
New insights into controlling nanowire merging phenomena are demonstrated in growth of thin ZnO nanowires using monodispersed Au colloidal nanoparticles as catalyst. Both nanowire diameter and density were found to be strongly dependent on the densit
The Raman shifts of nanocrystalline GaSb excited by an Ar+ ion laser of wavelengths 514.5, 496.5, 488.0, 476.5, and 457.9 nm are studied by experiment and explained by phonon confinement, tensile stress, resonance Raman scattering and quantum size ef
We report a novel synthesis for near monodisperse, sub-10-nm Bi2Te3 nanoparticles. At first, a new reduction route to bismuth nanoparticles is described which are applied as starting materials in the formation of rhombohedral Bi2Te3 nanoparticles. Af
