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

Anisotropically Shaped Magnetic/Plasmonic Nanocomposites for Information Encryption and Magnetic-Field-Direction Sensing.
TL;DR: The device is employed to demonstrate that the nanocomposite particles can serve as units for information encryption when immobilized in a polymer film and additionally when dispersed in solution can be employed as a new type of magnetic-field-direction sensor.

The effect of pH value on the formation of gold nanoshells
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the pH value of gold ion plating (PCG) solution on the growth of gold nanoshells with about 100-nm silica cores and 15-nm gold shells was systematically investigated by dynamic light scattering, UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscope.

Optical spectroscopy and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy of surface plasmons in core-shell nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this article, surface plasmon resonances in the silver shells were investigated using optical absorption measurements in ultraviolet-to-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and the effect of shell thickness on the wavelength of the resonance was noted.

In-vitro Application of Doxorubicin Loaded Magnetoplasmonic Thermosensitive Liposomes for Laser Hyperthermia and Chemotherapy of Breast Cancer
TL;DR: The results suggest that externally guided drug targeting can trigger drug release using an exogenous absorber in laser hyperthermia which can be used advantageously for thermo-chemotherapy of cancers.

Size dependent targeted delivery of gold nanoparticles modified with the IL-6R-specific aptamer AIR-3A to IL-6R-carrying cells
TL;DR: Small particles with diameters of less than 2 nm show an up to six times higher delivery rate for the aptamer-conjugated AuNPs compared to untargeted PEG-coated AuNs, and the specificity reduces with a decreasing aptamer/PEG ratio, and with an increase in particle size where the unspecific uptake is much higher.
