A plasmon peak is a collective oscillation of electrons in a metal nanoparticle, resulting in enhanced absorption or scattering of light. An excitonic peak is associated with the transition of an electron between the valence and conduction bands in a material, leading to the creation of an exciton. Plasmon peaks are typically broader and can exhibit tunability, while excitonic peaks are sharper and depend on the band structure of the material.

Reason for yellow color in silver nanoparticles?

Basically without math, certain metals have elecrons that are "free" silver is one of these metals. These free electrons are necessary for a condition called a surface plasmon to exist. Now silver particles in an aqueous solution will have two parts to its refractive index, that of the water and that of the silver nanoparticles. Next is the interaction of light. Photons can be thought as particles or waves, in this case we will think of them as waves. When an electromagnetic wave interacts with the surface plasmon mode it causes the free electrons that are part of the surface plasmon to oscillate, usually in anti phase to the electromagnetic wave. This essentially causes certain wavelengths of light to be blocked from propagating, causing them to be reflected and giving the colour that you see. Im actuallydoing some research on silver nanoparticles at the moment, and we can change this colour from yellow to almost anything that we want. For a yellow colour we see a plasmon resonance peak ca. 420nm but based on the size and shape of the silver nanoparticles we can tune the plasmon resonance peak. Mie theory can be used to calcuate the extinction co-efficents. The reason why this is also called the surface plasmon is that the light waves will not penetrate more than 50nm so the interactions at the surface are the most important.


What is the difference between Peak and off peak?

peak is when the demand of electric power is very high, and off peak is when the demand is low


What is peak to peak?

Peak to Peak is the most positive peak to the negative peak value. Or find any peak value and multiply by 2.


How is the peak potential difference shown?

The peak potential difference is the maximum voltage that can be measured in an electrical system. It is typically shown on a graph as the highest point along the voltage axis. In an oscilloscope display, the peak potential difference is indicated by the highest point reached by the waveform.


What is the difference between the white peak and the dark peak?

The White Peak and the Dark Peak are two distinct regions within the Peak District National Park in England. The White Peak is characterized by its limestone landscape, with rolling hills, dales, and limestone gorges. In contrast, the Dark Peak is known for its gritstone plateaus, moorlands, and rugged landscapes. The main difference lies in the geology of the two areas, with limestone dominating the White Peak and gritstone dominating the Dark Peak.

What is the difference in longitude between Beijing and Pikes Peak?

The longitude of Pikes Peak is 105°02′39″W while the longitude of Beijing is 116°23′30″E, which means that Beijing is almost half the world across from Pikes Peak.


What is the difference between vo2 max and vo2 peak?

The difference between VO2 max and VO2 peak is what the values represent. VO2 max represents the highest running oxygen amount achievable during a high intensity test. V02 peak represents the maximum value that can be reached without having it raised by a boost.


What is difference between amplitude and peak value?

It is the highest value of the amplitude, called the peak value. Scroll down to related links and look at "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage". Look at the figure in the middle below the headline "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".


What is the difference between a mountain and a peak?

A mountain is a landmass that projects conspicuously and is always higher than a hill. A peak is the highest point of a mountain.


What is Surface plasmon resonance?

it's a collective oscillation of the free electrons at the boundary between a dielectric and a metal, typically. The resonance character comes from the coupling between an electromagnetic field and this charge oscillation, which is best described as a plasmon-polariton.
