The Coster-Kronig process used to study the transition of metal nanoclusters into a nonmetallic state
Tóm tắt
The results of an experimental study of the Coster-Kronig process in copper nanoclusters obtained by a pulsed laser deposition technique are presented. It is established that the Köster-Krönig process probability depends on the cluster size and is determined by the possibility of a transition of the metal cluster into a state in which copper exhibits no metallic properties.
