Determination of the Size Distribution of Metallic Colloids from Extinction Spectroscopy

In this paper, we explore the ability of extinction spectroscopy to characterize colloidal suspensions of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). We demonstrate that the Au NPs’ size distribution can be deduced by analyzing their extinction spectra using Mie theory. Our procedure, based on the non-negative lea...

In addition, this procedure does not require any a priori information on the Au NP size distribution. The Au NPs’ size distribution of monomodal or bimodal suspensions can be satisfactorily determined from their extinction spectra. Finally, we show that this characterization tool is compatible with in situ measurement and allows following the change in NPs’ radii during laser exposure.
