Giant diamagnetism of gold nanorods
The presence of giant diamagnetism in Au nanorods, NRs, is shown to be a possible consequence of field induced currents in the surface electrons. The distance, Δ , between quantum surface energy levels has been calculated as a function of the NRs radius. Note that those electrons occupying states fo...
