The Syntheses of Nanoscale Metal Particles Produced by the Beam Induced Decomposition of Metal Hydrides and Azides in A Transmission Electron Microscope
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
A novel and efficient technique for the generation of nanoscale metal particles by the electron beam decomposition of metal hydrides and azides is presented. Nanoscale metal particles down to ∼ 25 Å in diameter can be generated from metal hydrides e.g. copper from CuH and from metal azides e.g. silver from AgN3. The technique has been successfully applied to Be, Mg, Al, Cu, Pd, Ti, ‘Mn, Ni, Ag, Sn, Fe, Bi, Cd, Sb, Ln and Tl.
