P. Buchner et al., Production and characterization of nanosized Cu/O/SiC composite particles in a thermlal r.f. plasma reactor, J MATER SCI, 34(5), 1999, pp. 925-931
An inductively coupled thermal plasma process was used to produce nanosized
Cu/SiC composite particles. The powders were characterized by means of che
mical analysis, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission el
ectron microscopy (TEM), specific surface measurements (BET), X-ray powder
diffractometry (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). X-ray abso
rption fine structure analysis (EXAFS) was performed to determine the near
range order structure of the nanosized particles. (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic
