Abstract
Oxygen isotope exchange (OIE) between nanosized powders of the aluminum oxide Al2O3 and oxygen-containing gases 18O2 and C18O2 has been studied in a temperature range of 100–500°C. The concentration of the oxygen isotope 18O in the powders was determined by nuclear microanalysis technique (NRA). It has been shown that for this oxide the OIE exhibits a significant size effect. It has been established that the OIE of the Al2O3 nanopowder is characterized by a specific time dependence of the concentration of the 18O isotope at the surface of grains and by a low level of the content of 18O in the oxide. A linear dependence of the concentration of 18O in the nanopowders on the specific surface of the nanoparticles has been revealed. The experimental data are discussed in terms of several models of the process of isotope exchange.
