Journal ArticleDOI
Mean coordination numbers and the non-metal–metal transition in clusters
TL;DR: The mean first-nearest-neighbour coordination number text-decoration:overlineN1 of atoms in a cluster is an important parameter characteristic of cluster size and geometry as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon monoxide oxidation on nanostructured CuOx/CeO2 composite particles characterized by HREM, XPS, XAS, and high-energy diffraction
Björn Skårman,Didier Grandjean,Robert E. Benfield,Andreas Hinz,Arne Andersson,L. Reine Wallenberg +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a wide range of techniques were used to characterize the catalysts: high-resolution TEM and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, as well as high-energy diffraction (HED) and x-ray absorption spectroglobalization (XANES and EXAFS) using synchrotron radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and Bonding of Gold Metal Clusters, Colloids, and Nanowires Studied by EXAFS, XANES, and WAXS
Robert E. Benfield,Didier Grandjean,Michael Kröll,Raphaël Pugin,Thomas Sawitowski,Günter Schmid +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structure and bonding of a series of gold clusters and gold nanomaterials stabilized by ligands or confined within nanoporous alumina have been investigated using EXAFS, XANES, and WAXS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology and structure of CuOx/CeO2 nanocomposite catalysts produced by inert gas condensation: An HREM, EFTEM, XPS, and high-energy diffraction study
Björn Skårman,T. Nakayama,Didier Grandjean,Robert E. Benfield,Eva Olsson,K Niihara,L. R. Wallenberg +6 more
TL;DR: Inert gas condensation (IGC) has been employed to produce nanoparticles of the low-temperature combustion catalyst CuOx/CeO2 in this paper, and the factors that control the growth, structure and morphology of the nanocomposite have been studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exact analytical formulae for mean coordination numbers in clusters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived analytical formulae for mean nearest-neighbour coordination numbers in clusters as a function of cluster size for a range of geometries.
