A set of molten gold clusters, each with 1157 gold atoms, was studied by molecular dynamics simulations as the clusters underwent
freezing at three different temperatures. Most of the clusters attained an icosahedral structure upon freezing, a structure
found to be stable to mild annealing. Other structures observed were imperfect truncated decahedral, truncated octahedral
and hexagonal close packed structures. The role of kinetics in the process of cluster solidification is discussed.

Small Copper (I) oxide, Cu2O, nanoparticles dispersed in diamine-terminated polyethyleneoxide (PEO-NH2) matrix have been successfully prepared by vacuum evaporation of copper onto the molten PEO-NH2. The obtained composite were characterized by TEM, electron diffraction, TG-DTA and FT-IR spectroscopy. The stable composite,
in which the Cu2O nanoparticles are stabilized through interaction between NH2 chain end groups of PEO molecules and Cu2O nanoparticles was obtained when the samples were heat-treated at 110
°
C. The mean size of the Cu2O nanoparticles increased from 2.5 to 3.5 nm in diameter upon increasing the amount of initial Cu deposition. The obtained
composite material having a waxy texture was soluble in many solvents without aggregation and can be handled as a simple chemical
compound for starting material in various applications.

The possibility of obtaining core-shell nanoparticles by
depositing adatoms of a different element B above a cluster of
an element A (system B/A) is studied by Molecular Dynamics
simulations. We consider the four cases Ag/Cu, Cu/Ag, Ag/Pd and
Pd/Ag, which present very different behaviours, and investigate
whether it is possible to build up of well-defined core-shell
structures. 相似文献

The magnetic behavior of rhodium clusters RhN (N = 4-38) under hydrostatic deformations was investigated. The starting cluster structures were obtained from an evolutionary
search algorithm applied to a Gupta potential. The spin-polarized electronic structure and related magnetic properties were
calculated using a self-consistent spd tight-binding Hamiltonian within the unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation. The magnetic behavior was analyzed in terms
of the interdependence between the geometrical parameters and the electronic structure. Anomalous magnetic effects were found
in some cases.

We have investigated the structure and phase behavior of nonmolecularly layered silver stearate by means of temperature-dependent
diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. Upon heating the sample, remarkable spectral changes
took place. The first phase transition took place that might be associated with a premelting event characterized by the formation
of gauche conformers at 390-420 K. A second phase transition took place in which silver nanoparticles with a size of ∼4 nm
were formed by thermal decomposition of silver stearate at 520-550 K. These silver nanoparticles, derivatized by stearate,
were readily spread as a monolayer at air/water interface, and could be packed in 3-D assemblies by the Langmuir-Blodgett
method.

The effect of oxidation on the structure of nickel nanoparticles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The structural properties of nickel nanoparticles which are prepared by means of DC sputtering in argon and subsequently oxidized
in ambient air are reported. Ex situ structural and chemical investigations utilizing (high resolution) transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss
spectroscopy reveal that the particles consist of a metallic core surrounded by an oxide shell. The lattice constant of the
nickel core is found to increase significantly with decreasing particle size. This widening of the nickel lattice is attributed
to an interfacial stress that originates from the lattice mismatch between nickel and nickel oxide.

We have investigated the magnetic properties of mass-selected iron clusters using the Magneto-Optical Kerr effect (MOKE) in
longitudinal geometry. For the production of these clusters, a newly developed continuous arc cluster ion source (ACIS) was
applied. The source is based on cathodic arc erosion in inert gas environment and subsequent expansion into high vacuum. Its
intensity and stability allows mass selection within a wide size range. The source efficiency is demonstrated in deposition
experiments and transmission electron microscopy. For mass-selected iron particles deposited into a silver matrix we could
observe a change in the magnetic behaviour from ferromagnetism to superparamagnetism around a size of 10 nm at room temperature.

Effect of composition on the dispersion of AuxCu1-x bimetallic nanoparticles into nylon 11 matrix has been investigated. TEM, EDX, and XPS depth profiling were used for characterizing
the changes in the composition of the bimetallic particles and in the depth distribution of the particles in the nylon 11
layer caused by heat treatment in N2 atmosphere. The island-like bimetallic particles were found to be formed on the nylon 11 surface before heat treatment. The
results of XPS depth profiling revealed that, by the heat treatment, the AuxCu1-x bimetallic particles with x? 0.55 were not dispersed into the nylon 11 layer while those with x≥ 0.70 were homogeneously dispersed in the films, indicating the existence of critical composition for penetration of the
bimetallic particles. By comparing the composition and structure of the bimetallic particles, the cause of these finding is
discussed in terms of surface free energy of the particles.

We present new results of electron diffraction experiments on unsupported nanometer-sized bismuth clusters. The high intensity
cluster beam, necessary for electron diffraction, is provided by an inert-gas aggregation source. The cluster beam contains
particles with average cluster sizes between 4.5 and 10 nm. When using Helium as a carrier gas we are able to observe a transition
from crystalline clusters to a new structure, which we identify with that of amorphous or liquid clusters.

The structures and energetics of carbon bridged C60 clusters (C
60
)
n
Cm have been studied by simulated annealing technique within the tight-binding molecular-dynamics. The “sp2 addition” ball-and-chain dimers exhibit odd-even alternations over the number of chain atoms, with the dimers containing
even chain atoms more stable against dissociation than their immediate neighbors containing odd chain atoms. In addition to
the usual “sp2 addition” dimers, a pentagon-linked C121 isomer and a hexagon-linked C122 isomer are also found to be stable. Based on our tight-binding calculations, trimers and larger clusters can be simply regarded
as being made up of independent or weakly interacting dimers, if the C-C60 joints on a single cage are not too close to each other. Large C60 clusters connected by chains each containing only one or two carbon atoms have similar stability to that of constituent dimers,
indicating the possibility to form stable C60-carbon polymers.

Plasma desorption mass spectrometry has been applied to
characterization of dodecanthiol-passivated gold nanoparticles.
An overview of the experimental set-up and mass analyses for the
nanoparticles prepared in different conditions are shown. Mass
distributions were found to shift to higher mass regions with
increasing reaction temperature and reaction period. The results
are consistent with those of transmission electron microscopy
observations, UV-visible absorption spectra and also with a
reported laser desorption mass spectrometry. 相似文献

We have measured attenuation cross sections and fragmentation cross sections for protonated water clusters H(H2O)n
+ (n = 1 to 100) colliding with noble gas atoms (He and Xe) at a laboratory energy of 50 keV. In collisions with He, a transparency
effect in the attenuation cross section was observed. For the case of fragmentation in collisions with Xe, a strong enhancement
of small clusters was observed which we attribute to multifragmentation.

We describe photoemission results from pure and Sb-doped SnO2 nanoparticles deposited on gold substrates. Photoelectron spectra with synchrotron radiation were recorded for Sn 3d, Sb
3d and O 1s core levels and valence bands in the 500-1200 eV energy range. For pure SnO2 nanoparticles the surface is terminated by an oxygen rich layer with no obvious surface environment for Sn. When doped n-type
with 9.1% or 16.7% Sb, dopant atoms are concentrated near the surface of the nanoparticles. The valence state of the dopant
atoms is predominantly SbV. Plasmon satellite features are also observed in core level photoemission spectra and their intensity relative to the main
peak increases with increasing photon energy.

We report a study on the third-order nonlinear optical properties of nanocomposite thin films composed of gold particles embedded
in a silica host matrix. Samples of various metal volume fractions, ranging from 8 to 35%, are synthesized by the sputtering
technique. Some of them are annealed. Nonlinear optical measurements, which are performed by using the z-scan technique, reveal both a very large nonlinear absorption and a weak nonlinear refraction close to the surface plasmon
resonance frequency of the particles. We especially study the effect of the metal concentration and the influence of thermal
treatment on the real and imaginary components of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility. Our results reveal that, as the
metal concentration reaches a few percent, the mutual electromagnetic interactions between particles greatly enlarge the nonlinear
optical response of the material and can not be neglected in the theoretical analysis. Moreover, the thermal treatment leads,
for a given concentration, to a significant increase of the nonlinear response, which is ascribed to a modification of the
material morphology. We finally point out that the material nonlinear properties are very sensitive to the incident wavelength
through the local field enhancement phenomenon.

In this paper, the formation and the stability of large B6O icosahedral particles was discussed on the basis of elastic deformation theory. Our calculation illustrate the stability
of macroscopic Mackay packing B6O icosahedral particles at high pressure. The transition pressure from rhombohedral structure of B6O particles to macroscopic B6O icosahedral ones was calculated to be 6 GPa, which is in good agreement with the experimental data (4.0-5.52 GPa). The maximum
diameter of B6O icosahedral particles at low pressure is estimated to be 200-300 nm.

Ag particles of 3.9 and 5.1 nm mean size in silicate glasses were produced by ion exchange and subsequent annealing at 480
and 600 °C. These thermal treatments may induce stresses in matrix and particles in addition to the well known effect of surface atoms
because of the thermal expansion mismatch of both materials. Structural characterisation of the particles by high-resolution
electron microscopy revealed a size-dependent lattice dilatation quite opposite to the so far observed lattice contraction
of similar metal/glass composites. This result, confirmed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ag K-edge, is discussed
in terms of an Ag-Ag bond length increase near the particle surface. The temperature-dependent EXAFS spectra (10-300 K) indicate
an increased thermal expansion coefficient of the particles with an increased mean particle size calculated on the basis of
an anharmonic Einstein model. With that the bond length increase can be explained. The results can be interpreted by a combination
of both the particle size effects and the influence of the surrounding matrix.

Free beam of silicon oxide nanoclusters is produced by a
gas aggregation source from SiO precursor. Due to the
disproportionation reaction during the condensation of SiO vapor
the generated clusters are Si-riched. The clusters are
collimated to be a fine beam and deposited on the substrate at
room temperature. The microstructures of the cluster-based
nanofilm are characterized by TEM. It is shown that with
appropriate impacting parameters, Si-riched oxide nanofilms
assembled from uniformly distributed isolated clusters can be
obtained. And the clusters can self-organize into partially
densely ordered packing within local domains. XPS spectra are
taken to analyze the chemical components of the nanofilms.
Photoluminescence from the Si-riched oxide nanofilms has also
been observed. 相似文献

The interaction of large ammonia and water clusters in the size range from <n> = 10 to 3 400 with electrons is investigated in a reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The clusters are generated
in adiabatic expansions through conical nozzles and are nearly fragmentation free detected by single photon ionization after
they have been doped by one sodium atom. For ammonia also the (1+1) resonance enhanced two photon ionization through the state with v = 6 operates similarly. In this way reliable size distributions of the neutral clusters are obtained which are analyzed in
terms of a modified scaling law of the Hagena type [Surf. Sci. 106, 101 (1981)]. In contrast, using electron impact ionization, the clusters are strongly fragmented when varying the electron
energy between 150 and 1 500 eV. The number of evaporated molecules depends on the cluster size and the energy dependence
follows that of the stopping power of the solid material. Therefore we attribute the operating mechanism to that which is
also responsible for the electronic sputtering of solid matter. The yields, however, are orders of magnitude larger for clusters
than for the solid. This result is a consequence of the finite dimensions of the clusters which cannot accommodate the released
energy.

In a series of recent experiments, the HOMO-LUMO energy gaps of small Si clusters deposited on a graphite substrate have been
determined by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). The values obtained were found to be substantially smaller than the energy
gaps of corresponding passivated clusters. This work considers dimensional reduction as a possible mechanism for a sizeable
energy gap narrowing by the example of the system Si5. The impact of the graphite substrate on the deposited species is investigated in the framework of a pseudocluster model.
