Abstract
Nanopartciels comprising two different metallic elements offer additional degrees of freedom for altering their physical properties by varying the atomic composition and atomic arrangement. This could potentially enable a wide range of applications for discovering materials with novel physical properties. However, our present understanding of fundamental issues has been hindered by the lack of knowledge of the precise chemical composition and atomic arrangement within a given bimetallic nanoparticle. Here, we report our recent systematic study on structural and optical properties of core/shell structured AgAu nanoparticles of 4–5 nm diameter by a combination of high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with UV-visible absorption spectroscopy.
