The assembly among gold nanoparticles, the water-soluble tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin and spermine, in acidic solution, forms a hybrid nanocomposite exhibiting scattering enhancement. A scaling law of a cluster-cluster aggregate of metal nanoparticle composites, with 0.3 as optical spectral dimension, is observed in agreement with theoretical models. In this ternary composite, spermine acts as a sticky agent for gold nanoparticles and porphyrins, and the dipolar coupling between porphyrins is responsible for the localization of the electric field giving rise to the scattering enhancement.

Abstract
The assembly among gold nanoparticles, the water-soluble tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin and spermine, in acidic solution, forms a hybrid nanocomposite exhibiting scattering enhancement. A scaling law of a cluster-cluster aggregate of metal nanoparticle composites, with 0.3 as optical spectral dimension, is observed in agreement with theoretical models. In this ternary composite, spermine acts as a sticky agent for gold nanoparticles and porphyrins, and the dipolar coupling between porphyrins is responsible for the localization of the electric field giving rise to the scattering enhancement.File in questo prodotto:
