Effect of REAu on Silver Staining Results and Their UV-Vis Absorption Spectra.

La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy particles and gold nanoparticles were prepared. Effects of La-Au, Ce-Au, Nd-Au, Sm-Au, Eu-Au, Gd-Au and Dy-Au particles on silver staining results were studied, respectively, and UV-Vis absorption spectra of La-Au, Ce-Au, Nd-Au, Sm-Au, Eu-Au, Gd-Au and Dy-Au particles were studied. Times and colors of sports with La-Au, Ce-Au, Nd-Au, Sm-Au, Eu-Au, Gd-Au, Dy-Au particles are longer and darker than that of with gold nanoparticles, respectively.
