Structure and property tailoring of metal nanoparticles dispersed in dielectrics by high energy ion implantation
EMSL Project ID
9491
Abstract
High energy ion beam will be used to tailor structure of metal nanoparticles dispersed in dielectric medium. The typical examples are Au, Fe, Co, and Cr implanted into SrTiO3, MgO, TiO2. The optical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic properties of the implanted system will be studied. Microstructure of the materials will be investigated by combination of HRTEM, RBS, XPS, and XRD.
