Core-shell nanoparticles with ca. 15-nm gold core and 6-nm silica shell were prepared and characterized by XPS. The Au/Si atomic ratio determined by XPS is independent of the electron takeoff angle because of the concentric spherical shape of the nanoparticles. The formula given by Wertheim and DiCenzo (Phys. Rev. B 1988, 37, 844) for spherical nanoparticles and the modified one by Yang et. al. (J. Appl. Phys. 2005, 97, 024303) for core-shell nanoparticles are used to correlate the XPS-derived composition with the geometry of the nanoparticles only after significantly modifying either the bulk density of the silica shell or the attenuation length of the photoelectrons.
制备了具有约15纳米金核和6纳米二氧化硅壳的核壳纳米颗粒,并通过X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对其进行了表征。由于纳米颗粒的同心球形形状,由XPS测定的金/硅原子比与电子出射角无关。仅在对二氧化硅壳的体密度或光电子的衰减长度进行显著修正之后,才使用Wertheim和DiCenzo(《物理评论B》1988年,第37卷,第844页)给出的用于球形纳米颗粒的公式以及Yang等人(《应用物理杂志》2005年,第97卷,024303)给出的用于核壳纳米颗粒的修正公式,将XPS得出的组成与纳米颗粒的几何形状关联起来。
