Abstract

The formation of colloidal gold particles of diameter less than 10 nm has been achieved by the irradiation of aqueous HAuCl4 solutions with 20 kHz ultrasound; the particle size and efficiency of particle formation is highly dependent on the presence of alcohol, its type and concentration, in the solutions.
