Ultrasonic Alloying of Preformed Gold and Silver Nanoparticles
Cationicsurfactantcoated preformed gold and silver nanoparticles become gold/silveralloy nanoparticles after 3 h of sonication in water at 55 W cm −2, whereas only fusion of isolated gold and silver nanoparticles is observed after ultrasonic treatment in the presence of an anionic surfactant. As the Xray diffraction profile of alloyed ...
