Abstract
Composite, copper and zinc containing nanoparticles and brass nanoparticles have been obtained by a high-performance method of evaporation of substances by a relativistic electron beam. The change in the stoichiometry of nanopowders produced by stepwise irradiation of a brass ingot placed in a single-zone graphite crucible is considered. It was found that the production of such particles depends on the concentration of saturated vapors of zinc and copper. A two-zone configuration of the crucible has been developed, which makes it possible to realize the simultaneous evaporation of the constituent components, thereby providing the conditions for the formation of uniform brass nanoparticles with a uniform distribution of elements and a high yield of nanopowder. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) were carried out, and the specific surface of the obtained nanoparticles was determined. The mechanism of formation of composite nanoparticles is discussed.
