Synthesis and Film Formation of Monodisperse Nanoparticles and Nanoparticle Pairs

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanoparticles from the Gasphase

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

The use of well-defined nanoparticles for functional film applications is described. The advantages of applying size-fractionation, e.g. by means of mobility analysis, are described together with the technological obstacles which have to be overcome. The synthesis of Au and Ge nanoparticles by means of spark discharge is described. To prepare alloy nanoparticles, two different approaches have been utilized. Au-Ge pair nanoparticles are formed by bipolar mixing after separate size selection of both materials. The synthesis of AuGe alloyed nanoparticles is also performed by co-sparking from two different electrodes. The development of an electrostatic precipitator for functional film formation is described.
