Single-Photon-Single-Electron Transition for Interpretation of Optical Spectra of Nonspherical Metal Nanoparticles in Aqueous Colloidal Solutions

Figure 2

UV-vis spectra of five silver nanoprism samples with different particle sizes each. The spectral position of the main absorption mode is shifted bathochromically with a larger edge length, which were obtained under conditions of decreasing seed nanoparticle density [21].
