Abstract

Metallic particles covered with a silicon oxide layer have been produced for Ag and Pb by the gas evaporation method using an evaporated metal and SiO mixture powder. Metallic particles less than a few nanometers in diameter covered with a silicon oxide layer were produced under selected growth conditions. Cometlike particles were obtained only in a eutectic system of Ag–Si with a sufficient amount of SiO mixture powder relative to the Ag powder. The formation of Pb particles covered with a silicon oxide layer may enable new nanoparticle applications as a stable material taking environmental concerns into consideration.
