Experimental and theoretical realization of enhanced light scattering spectroscopy of gold nanorods

摘要

Assisted with transmission electron microscopy and extinction spectra, the enhanced light scattering (ELS) experiments were performed with gold nanoparticles. Although both the nanospheres and nanorods can enhance light scattering in study aggregation, the spectral characteristics of gold nanorods is relatively simple compared to that of nanospheres. This will further extend the application range of ELS method to determinate the amounts of inorganic ions in analytical field and investigate on the macromolecular aggregation in polymeric research due to its simplicity, rapidity, and sensitivity.
