【 摘 要 】

Thin films of gold nanoparticles were formed on indium tin oxide (ITO) by an electrodeposition method from an aminosilicate stabilized gold colloid solution. The thin films were examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The surface coverage of gold nanoparticles on the thin film was estimated to 1.2 nanomole/cm2. An anthraquinone-2, 6-disulfonic acid, disodium salt (AQDS) self-assembled layer was generated by immersing gold thin film into 1 mM of AQDS in 0.1 M HClO4 solution for over 20 hours. As a result, a new absorbance peak from the multi-layers (AQDS/thin film of gold /ITO) was obtained about at 690 nm. Also, the surface plasmon absorption of multi-layers was measured by UV-Visible spectrometer along with chronoamperometry by applying the various potentials from +0.5 V to -0.5 V. The maximum surface plasmon absorption band at 550 nm was decreased by applying negative potentials. The change of absorbance was correlated with the surface coverage of the AQDS indicating the pseudo-capacity surface state of the AQDS layer was coupled to the energy level of the plasmon band by applied negative potentials.
