Well-defined one-dimensional arrays of gold nanoparticles dispersed in triphenylphosphine nanowires were obtained by annealing of chloro(triphenylphosphine) gold(I) complexes in a porous alumina template. The obtained nanocomposite wires exhibit strong surface plasmon coupling due to the close proximity of adjacent gold nanoparticles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
