Silver nanoparticles of different sizes have been prepared. Absorption spectroscopy reveals the formation of ground state complex. Fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to study the signatures of fluorescence quenching. Properties of N-(2-methylthiophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimine (NMTHN) on silver nanoparticles has been investigated using optical absorption and fluorescence emission techniques. Quenching of fluorescence of N-(2-methylthiophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimine has been found to decrease with increase in the size of the silver nanoparticles. The results of the quenching experiments were analyzed through Stern Volmer plot.
Silver nanoparticles with different radii were synthesized using silver nitrate solution added with sodium borohydride solution at different ratios. The synthesized silver nanoparticles of radii 25.3 nm, 31 nm, 33.6 nm and 37.1 nm were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The synthesized silver nanoparticles exhibit spherical morphology for all radii. The silver nanoparticles exhibit the plasmon resonance band between 390 nm – 400 nm. The optical trapping effect of Gaussian beam acting on a silver nanoparticle in Rayleigh regime was studied. The optical scattering and optical gradient forces were calculated for silver nanoparticles of different radii.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
