Synthesis of Small Atomic Copper Clusters in Microemulsions
Abstract
We report evidence of the formation of small atomic copper clusters, Cu(n), by the microemulsion technique, and how their size can be controlled by adjusting the percentage of the reducing agent used. Copper clusters were characterized by UV-visible spectrophotometry and atomic force microscopy. Photoluminescent copper clusters, Cu(n), with n less, similar 13, can be obtained using very low percentages of the reducing agent (<10% of the stochiometric amount). Photoluminescent clusters disappear for larger percentages of reducing agent, giving rise to larger copper clusters (0.8-2.0 nm), showing a red-shift of their UV-visible absorption bands as they grow in size. Finally, by using near stoichiometric amounts, nanoparticles of 2.9 +/- 1.1 nm in size, displaying the characteristic plasmon band, can be obtained.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
