Unlike silver and gold, indium has material properties that enable strong resonances extended up to the ultraviolet. This extended response, combined with low cost, and ease of synthesis process, makes indium a highly promising material for applications. In this work, we have synthesized ligand-protected indium nanoparticles by a metal reduction method. Powder X-ray diffraction and EDX analyses are consistent with the presence of metallic indium in the nanoparticles. Ligand binding was proven by IR spectroscopy and TGA experiments. TEM analyses reveal that the particle size ranges from 6.3 to 4.8 nm. Optical measurements show that the absorption maximum is red shifted as the particle size decreases.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
