Figure 5 Transient bleach data for different aspect ratio nanorods. The experimentswere performed with 400-nm pump pulses and with the probe laser tuned tothe maximum of the longitudinal band for each sample. The width of the rods was10 nm and their length is given in the figure. The inset shows the measured periodversus the rod length, for the samples investigated to date.modes will be excited and how their frequencies depend on the size and shapeof the particles.V. BIMETALLIC NANOPARTICLESBimetallic particles are extremely important in catalysis [18]; however, theirphotophysics has not received anywhere near the attention that has beengiven to single-component particles. Thus, at this stage, very little is knownabout the properties of these materials—in particular, whether one can simplythe average of the properties of the individual components or whether a morecomplex treatment is needed. Figure 6 shows the ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis)absorption spectra of Pt–Au core–shell particles with the same of Pt core and<strong>Copyright</strong> <strong>2004</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Marcel</strong> <strong>Dekker</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. <strong>All</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> <strong>Reserved</strong>.
