As confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM),an individual nanoparticle chain bridged the electrode pair. The present approach makes this technique to be cheap and may be applicable in microelectronic industry.展开更多

Long gold nanoparticle chains with good dispersion in water could be easily obtained after adding dextran in- to the mixture of HAuC14 and sodium citrate. The measurements of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) confirmed the formation of gold nanoparticle chains. The morphology and dispersion properties of gold na- noparticle chains could be tuned by adjustment of the reagent ratio, stirring speed, and reaction time.展开更多
