Abstract
ABSTRACTGold-coated iron core-shell structure and Au/Fe/Au onion-like nanoparticles synthesized using reverse micelles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average nanoparticle size of the core-shell structure is about 8 nm, with about 6 nm diameter core and 2 nm shell. The gold shell structure can be resolved from both high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) image and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS). Even though the gold and iron electron diffraction rings overlap a little bit, they can still be identified due to the slight mismatch of the diffraction rings. The Au/Fe/Au onion-like nanoparticles were also observed. The nanoparticles were formed with about 6 nm diameter gold core, 1 nm iron interlayer and 2 nm gold shell. The shell structure coated on the core appeared unhomogeneous, however, in both cases the iron core and interlayer iron shell stay air-stable.
