Optical Characterization of the Interaction of Mercury with Nanoparticulate Gold Suspended in Solution

We have demonstrated that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) wavelength of gold nanoparticles suspended in solution can be modified by exposure to elemental mercury at sub parts per million (ppm) concentrations in nitrogen. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy was used to monitor th...
