Nanotechnology 19 (7) : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/19/7/075601 | Abstract: | We demonstrated a simple single-step synthesis of gold nanochains by reducing aqueous chloroaurate ions (AuCl4 -) with sodiumborohydride (NaBH4) in the presence of an amino acid (glutamic acid and histidine) as a stabilizer. The structure and optical properties of gold nanochains and nanowires were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and femtosecond z-scan measurements. The results suggested that the gold nanochains and nanowires were formed via the nanospheres fusing into one another by an oriented attachment mechanism through dipole-dipole interactions. The z-scan measurements on Au nanowires showed a transition from saturable absorption to reverse saturable absorption as the pump intensity increased. © IOP Publishing Ltd. | Source Title: | Nanotechnology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/93009 | ISSN: | 09574484 | DOI: | 10.1088/0957-4484/19/7/075601 |
