Abstract

Magnetron sputtering was successfully used to obtain nanosized metal films and metal nanoparticles, which can be useful for development of novel methods in organic chemistry. The morphology of the nanosized (5–100 nm) objects obtained was examined by SEM. The pattern of dependence of the morphology and size of the nanosized objects on the nature of the support surface, the metal, and the sputtering conditions is described.
