K. Fukumi et al., STRUCTURE OF AU ULTRAFINE PARTICLES IN SILICA GLASS BY X-RAY-ABSORPTION FINE-STRUCTURE SPECTROSCOPY, Journal of materials research, 10(10), 1995, pp. 2418-2421
The structure of ultrafine gold particles embedded in silica glass by
ion implantation has been studied by x-ray absorption fine structure s
pectroscopy. It is found that the Au-Au interatomic distance in the pa
rticles is very similar to that in bulk gold within 0.01 Angstrom. Mea
n-square relative displacement in the particles is 1.2-1.3 times large
r than that in bulk gold.
