Abstract
Two techniques of electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy were combined to propose a chemical influence for the dewelding process of colloidal gold suspensions. Suspensions were prepared by heating aqueous AuCl3 and mixing with aqueous sodium citrate with continued heating. Then, a stable suspension of nearly monosized particles was formed. Samples were taken at different time intervals and cooled. The progress of the process was monitored by cylindrical internal reflectance infrared spectroscopy and photon correlation spectroscopy. Samples for transmission electron microscopy were made by taking small amounts of the suspensions and transferring them to carbon grids.
