Naturally occurring gold nanoparticles and nanoplates

Naturally occurring gold nanoparticles and nanoplates

During the weathering of gold deposits, exceptionally pure, <200 nm diameter, nanoparticulate gold plates (6 nm thick) are formed. The particles display controlled growth of both size and shape and signs of assembly to form belts and sheets. The gold is associated and intergrown with minerals...
