Abstract
Metal fine-particles were prepared by adding hydrazine to aqueous solution containing paradium and copper ions.The prepared fine particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The measured diameters of the prepared particles were in the range of 2 to 100nm and independent of reaction temperatures.The constituent of the particles measured by EDS was found to be determined only by the ion constituent in the solution.XRD analysis of the prepared particles revealed that they were solid solution consisting of paradium and copper.Further, XRD analysis suggested that an amorphous stucture would be contained in the products.
