Abstract
IN the course of investigations on the effect of γ-rays on inorganic colloids, we observed formation of gold sol from an aqueous solution of chloroauric acid. This communication presents our preliminary findings since very little is known about the formation of a heterogeneous system of this nature induced by irradiation1,2.
