A in particle size distribution curves. Colloidal gold, silver, platinum and platinized cadmium sulfide were generated in Aerosol-OT reversed micelles or in microemulsions by in situ photolysis of the appropriate ions (Figure 3.15). Under suitable conditions, each assembly contained approximately eight Au " ions, which firstly led to the formation of Aug clusters. ...
