  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. We present studies of the ultrafast electron dynamics in gold nanoshells. By tuning the plasmon peak position of the nanoparticle relative to the tuning range of a cavity dumped Ti:sapphire laser, both transient bleaching and transient absorption are observed.
