Optical properties of gold and silver nanoparticles
The optical and electronic properties of gold nanoparticles are tunable by changing the size, shape, surface chemistry, or aggregation state. Optical & Electronic Properties of Gold Nanoparticles Gold nanoparticles’ interaction with light is strongly dictated by their environment, size and physical dimensions. An optical response in a nanomaterial can be created through several different mechanisms, depending on the nanomaterial size, composition and arrangement, and each method may provide certain benefits depending on the target application. This module contains a brief summary of the various mechanisms that influence nanoparticle optical properties. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are increasingly used in various fields, including medical, food, health care, consumer, and industrial purposes, due to their unique physical and chemical properties. These include optical, electrical, and thermal, high electrical conductivity, and biological properties [1,2,3]. Silver nanoparticles are highly commercial due to properties such as good conductivity, chemical stability, catalytic activity, and their antimicrobial activity.

Nanoparticles of alkali metals and noble metals (copper, silver, platinum, palladium, and gold, etc.) have a broad absorption band in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum of light, because the solutions of these metal nanoparticles show the intense color, which is absent in their bulk counterparts as well as their atomic level.

Silver nanoparticle absorption and scattering properties can be tuned by controlling the particle size, shape, and the local refractive index near the particle surface.

Top row: TEM; middle row: absorption spectra; bottom row: physical appearance ((A) is reproduced with permission from Ref. [27]. Modeling of optical properties of spherical core–shell gold–silver and silver–gold nanoparticles (NPs) was carried out based on extended Mie theory for radiation wavelengths in the range 300 ≤ λ ≤ 650 nm. Silver Nanoparticles: Optical Properties Silver nanoparticles absorb and scatter light with extraordinary efficiency. Their strong interaction with light occurs because the conduction electrons on the metal surface undergo a collective oscillation when they are excited by light at specific wavelengths. Both silver nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles are commonly employed in optical detection for their surface plasmon resonance effect. The plasmon excitation efficiency of silver nanoparticles is known to be even more pronounced than that of gold nanoparticles, as shown in their stronger, sharper plasmon resonance peaks at the same particle concentration. Gold nanoparticles also exhibit good signal intensity and stability when acting as the promising materials for NIR imaging. Gold nanoparticles are the most commonly used nanoparticles for lateral flow assays. Due to the optical properties of gold nanoparticles, detection with the naked eye can be achieved with excellent sensitivity. The optical and electronic properties of gold nanoparticles are tunable by changing the size, shape, surface chemistry, or aggregation state.
