Zx. Liu et al., Favored structure of Ag nanoparticles embedded in SiO2 by implantation: Single crystal with contracted (111) lattice, J MATER RES, 15(6), 2000, pp. 1245-1247
The structure of Ag nanoparticles, embedded in crystalline SiO2 by high-dos
e implantation, was investigated. It was found that single crystal is favor
ed over multiple-twinned particles. In addition, the contracted (111) latti
ce spacing of the Ag nanocrystals was measured by x-ray diffraction.
