Particle diameter of Au on the absorption spectra and the plasmon bandwidth. (A) UV/ Visual absorption spectra of 9, 22, 48, and 99 nm gold nanoparticles in water. All spectra are normalized at their absorption maxima, which are 517, 521, 533, and 575 nm, respectively. (B) The plasmon bandwidth Δλ as a function of particle diameter.
