Abstract:Air-stable Co, Fe, and Fe/Co nanoparticles are accessible by thermolysis of the metal carbonyl precursors in the presence of aluminium alkyls and subsequent "smooth oxidation". The structure of the particles was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM, HRTEM), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS), metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES), and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The peptization of the nanoparticles with suitable … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
