Influence of Cationic Surfactants on the Formation and Surface Oxidation States of Gold Nanoparticles Produced via Laser Ablation

We report on the time evolution of gold nanoparticles produced by laser ablation in the presence of the cationic surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) in aqueous solution. The broader applicability of a laser-inducednanoparticle formation kineti...
