Investigation of the Magnetic Properties of Non-Thiolated Au Nano-Structures Grown by Laser Ablation

Although it is known that gold (Au) is diamagnetic in bulk form, it has been reported that Au displays magnetic properties when reduced to the nano-scale. Researchers found magnetism in Au nanoparticles (NPs) in a size range from 2 to 10 nanometers. Moreover, the Au nanoparticles are usually coated...
