Abstract

An electrochemical method for the preparation of nanoscopic gold particles which allows for the control of particle size, shape and orientation is described. The UV/visible/near-IR spectra of Au/alumina and Au/polyethylene composites are described and shown to be in accord with the predictions of Maxwell-Garnett theory. The applications of such composites to surface enhanced spectroscopy are also discussed.
