according to the unique properties and many applications of nano gold powder, it was prepared from an acid leaching tail solution. the low value residual gold ions existed in acid leaching tail solution in mouteh gold mine in iran with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (fe2+, cu2+, and zn2+). preparation of nano gold particles is achieved by two steps: first, by addition of ammonia as separatio...

The surface plasmons that are enabled by grating coupling in two-dimensional gold nano-particle arrays (AuNPAs) affected the spectral characteristics of the up-conversion (UC) emission from Yb(3+)-Er(3+)-Gd(3+) co-doped sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4:Yb/Er/Gd) nano-rods. The red emission of NaYF4:Yb/Er/Gd nano-rods at 660 nm (excited with a 980 nm diode laser) was significantly enhanced by the ...

Single-particle optical investigations have greatly improved our understanding of the fundamental properties of nano-objects, avoiding the spurious inhomogeneous effects that affect ensemble experiments. Correlation with high-resolution imaging techniques providing morphological information (e.g. electron microscopy) allows a quantitative interpretation of the optical measurements by means of a...

There are two mass diffusion processes regarding the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth of nanostructures: one is inside the catalyst droplet toward the liquid-solid interface; the other is along the side surface planes of the growing nanostructures. In this letter, microscale, modulated mass diffusion scenarios are exhibited through the synthesis of two types of ZnS nanostructures in an Au-cataly...

The objective of the project was to fabricate gold nano-rods and study the optical properties of gold nano-particles when coupled to Indium Arsenide quantum dots. The gold nano-rods were synthesized by a seed-mediated growth method using CTAB and BDAC as the surfactants, and the feasibility of changing the aspect ratio of the rods and their Plasmon resonance frequency was studied by varying the...
