Preparation of plasmonic magnetic nanoparticles and their light scattering properties†
Abstract
Fe3O4@SiO2@Au nanoparticles (NPs) that have plasmonic and magnetic properties were prepared by simple immobilization method of Au NPs to silica coated magnetic NPs. The Fe3O4@SiO2@Au exhibit 5 times higher light scattering compared to the same sized gold NPs. The experimental results were supported by the simulations.
