Nanoparticles of gallium nitride, which are of great interest in optic
al technology, were synthesized and characterized. The surface chemica
l composition of these nanoparticles, which can affect the overall pro
perties of the material, was analyzed by diffuse reflectance Fourier t
ransform infrared spectrometry. The interaction of the GaN first atomi
c layer with acetic acid was investigated as a preliminary step for th
e deagglomeration study of the nanoparticles in polymer matrixes. (C)
