I synthesized Gold-coated iron oxide nanoparticle using citrate reduction method. I measured the DLS before coating (6 nm) and after coating (7nm). I also measured TEM. Is my TEM images (attached) right for gold coated iron oxide nanoparticles? If so, why is the size of the nanoparticles differs from DLS (I got 3 nm core, 1.5 thickness shell)? Thanks!
