G. Kataby et al., The adsorption of monolayer coatings on iron nanoparticles: Mossbauer spectroscopy and XANES results, THIN SOL FI, 333(1-2), 1998, pp. 41-49
Recently coatings on amorphous iron and amorphous iron oxide nanoparticles
were successfully formed, using the self-assembled technique. The results o
f the Mossbauer spectroscopy and XANES studies of thiol-coated nanophased a
morphous iron are reported in this work. They provide more support in demon
strating the formation of chemical bonds between the amorphous iron and the
various surfactants. A trivalent iron atom is detected as bound to the SDS
surfactant by both: XANES and Mossbauer spectroscopies. (C) 1998 Elsevier
