Abstract
Au-Ag nanoalloys have been synthesized using the photochemical reduction method by femtosecond laser from dissolving of potassium gold (III) chloride (KAuCl4) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) added into a quartz cuvette in various volume ratios with a total volume of 3 ml. The samples were then called AuxAgy, where x and y were the volume fraction for Au and Ag ions, respectively. The samples were irradiated for 15 minutes of irradiation time and characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry to observe the absorption spectra in 300-800 nm range and determine the wavelength at which the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) peak was observed. The process occurred in a water-only medium, in water medium added with 0.01 wt% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and in water medium added with 0.1 wt% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The result showed that LSPR of Au-Ag nanoalloys could be tuned between ∼525 nm for Au and ∼403 nm for Ag in a water-only medium, ∼521 nm for Au and ∼412 for Ag in water medium added with 0.01 wt% PVP and ∼522 nm for Au and ∼419 nm for Ag in water medium added with 0.1 wt% PVP.
