In order to complete a preceding paper the dielectric constantɛ of the particle material of small silver particles with diameters between 210 and 25 A is computed in the wavelength region 365≦λ≦455 nm from the measured spectra of thesmall particle plasma reasonance absorption. For this purpose a properKramers Kronig relation is derived, and is checked by applying to particles with Drude free electron gas. The results, concerning the silver particles, are that the real part ofɛ changes slightly, whereas the imaginary part is markedly enhanced (up to the ten-fold of the bulk values) if the particle size decreases. This size dependence ofɛ can quantitatively be described with thefree path effect within the accuracy of the measured values. Conversely, thebulk dielectric constant of silver is obtained by applying the free path effect to the measured dielectric constant of the small particles.read more

Chemistry and properties of nanocrystals of different shapes.
TL;DR: The interest in nanoscale materials stems from the fact that new properties are acquired at this length scale and, equally important, that these properties are equally important.

Gold nanoparticles: Optical properties and implementations in cancer diagnosis and photothermal therapy
TL;DR: The surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles leads to strong electromagnetic fields on the particle surface and consequently enhances all the radiative properties such as absorption and scattering as discussed by the authors, and the strongly absorbed light is converted to heat quickly via a series of nonradiative processes.

Formation and Size Control of Silver Nanoparticles by Laser Ablation in Aqueous Solution
TL;DR: In this paper, a laser ablation of a metal silver plate in an aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate, C12H25OSO3Na, was shown to be essentially the same as that of silver nanoparticles chemically prepared in a solution.
