We study the potentialities of a two-color Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) spectroscopy nanosizer by monitoring the assembling of a colloidal dispersion of citrate stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on SiO2 surface. When the AuNPs/water composite's optical density layer is negligible and the electron mean-free path limitation is taken into account in the AuNPs' dielectric constant;s formulation, the surface density σ of the nanoparticle array and the statistical mean size of the nanoparticles can be straightly determined by using two-color SPR spectroscopy in the context of Maxwell's Garnett theory. The optical method, demonstrated experimentally for AuNPs with a nominal mean diameter of 15 nm, can, theoretically, be extended to bigger nanoparticles, based on a simple scaling relation between the extinction cross section of the single nanoparticle σext and the surface density σ. The experimental results, comparable to those obtained by AFM, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering technique, establish a novel insight on the SPR spectroscopy's potential to accurately characterize nanomaterials.
