Synthesis of aqueous Au core-Ag shell nanoparticles using tyrosine as a pH-dependent reducing agent and assembling phase-transferred silver nanoparticles at the air-water interface.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the amino acid tyrosine is an excellent reducing agent under alkaline conditions and may be used to reduce Ag+ ions to synthesize stable silver nanoparticles in water and leading to a simple strategy for realizing phase-pure Au core-Ag shell nanostructures.

Synthesis of thiol-derivatised gold nanoparticles in a two-phase liquid-liquid system

TL;DR: Using two-phase reduction of AuCl4 by sodium borohydride in the presence of an alkanethiol, solutions of 1-3 nm gold particles bearing a surface coating of thiol have been prepared and characterised; this novel material can be handled as a simple chemical compound as mentioned in this paper.

Optical Absorption Spectra of Nanocrystal Gold Molecules

TL;DR: The optical absorption spectra of a series of nanocrystal gold molecules, passivated by a compact monolayer of n-alkylthiol(ate)shave have been measured across the electronic range (1.1−4.0 eV) in dilute solution at ordinary temperature as mentioned in this paper.

Structural and electrical properties of granular metal films

TL;DR: In this article, the transition from the metallic regime to the dielectric regime (10−50 A size isolated metal particles in an insulator continuum) is associated with the breaking up of a metal, where the volume fraction of metal, x, was varied from x = 1 to x = 0.05.
