Bs. Zou et al., ANOMALOUS OPTICAL-PROPERTIES AND ELECTRON-PHONON COUPLING ENHANCEMENTIN FE2O3 NANOPARTICLES COATED WITH A LAYER OF STEARATES, Journal of physics and chemistry of solids, 58(9), 1997, pp. 1315-1320
In this paper the anomalous optical responses and structural variation
s of Fe2O3 nanoparticles coated with a layer of stearates are correlat
ed. These variations are originated from the quantum confined polaroni
c state evidenced by spectroscopic characteristics, which is the inter
play of the quantum size effect, interfacial effect introduced by stea
rates and localized d electrons in the Fe2O3 nanoparticles. (C) 1997 E
