Colloidal gold: Pt. 1
Description
Two basic approaches are used in the preparation of colloidal gold solutions. One is the disintegration of metallic gold rods by an electric arc operating in a liquid medium. The other more general approach is the synthesis of particles from gold salts using either appropriate reducing agents or radiation. X-rays with the results from electron microscopy were used for size determination. The growth, nucleation and coagulation of the particles were studied. The morphology and structure charateristics of colloidal gold particles were investigated by means of electron microscopy and are also described
