60. 66 Applying this result to each of the four silica core sizes, we found that the seed particles attain optimum packing on each core surface after growing to a diameter of 5.0 nm. Thus, the Au nanoparticles will definitely have to fuse when the shell thickness exceeds 5.0 nm, and eqs 7 and 8 will no longer be valid beyond this point (the sheath layer will essentially be all Au anyway). The TEM images in Figure 2iii suggest that the Au seeds probably do not grow uniformly, so we focused our analysis of the sheath layer on the 2-3 nm Au-decorated silica spheres at the onset of Au shell growth.
61. 64, 67 The stability coefficients were evaluated using trapezoidal numerical integration, and the results are plotted in Figure 7. For the undecorated silica spheres, W increases with particle size, and the results are well within the range of calculated values reported by Spielman and co-workers.67
