TLDR
Aqueous reduction of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) with alkaline tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride yields gold in an ultrafinely divided form as a stable colloidal hydrosol, with mean metal-cluster diameter between 1 and 2 nm, without the need for large organic stabilizing molecules.Abstract:
Aqueous reduction of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) with alkaline tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride yields gold in an ultrafinely divided form as a stable colloidal hydrosol, with mean metal-cluster diameter between 1 and 2 nm, without the need for large organic stabilizing molecules. The ultraviolet-visible extinction spectrum is very similar to those of other gold colloids of similar dimensions and includes a weak plasmon feature. Dispersions with characteristics of yet finer clusters are prepared using lower initial concentrations of Au3+ ions. Boiling the sols in the presence of appropriate colloidal stabilizers (ionic and/or polymeric) is a route to coarser (3-10 nm particle diameter) gold hydrosols. © 1993 American Chemical Society.read more

TL;DR: A facile method was developed to synthesize biocompatible hetero-nanoparticles which inherently display multifunctionality based on a few interchangeable components which are capable of displaying tunable optical properties due to the surface plasmon resonance of the gold nanoparticles useful to photoacoustic applications.
Gold nanoshells: a review on its preparation characterisation and applications
TL;DR: Gold nanoshells are spherical particles with diameters typically ranging in size from 10 to 200 nm as discussed by the authors, composed of a dielectric core covered by a thin gold shell.
