Title: XAFS studies of gold and silver-gold nanoparticles in aqueous solution

Journal Article · · J. Synchrotron Rad.
OSTI ID:1006367

The X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) of colloidal Au and Au/Ag nanoparticles (3.5 nm and 20 nm mean diameter) in an aqueous solution has been investigated. Size dependent alloying was observed upon deposition of Ag on Au core. Ag forms distinct layers around the 20 nm Au nanoparticles. In contrast, random mixing is found for Ag deposited on 3.5 nm Au particles.
