The Electronic Properties and L3 XANES of Au and Nano-Au

Yiu Y.M., Zhang P., Sham T.K., University of Western Ontario, CA

The electronic properties of Au crystal and nano Au have been investigated by theory and experiment. Molecularly capped nano-Au was synthesized using the two-phase method. Au nano-particles have been characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and [...]

X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structures at the L3,2 and M3,2 edges: A probe for the electronic behavior of metal nanostructures

Yiu Y.M., Sham T.K., The University of Western Ontario, CA

We present a comparison of the calculation and experiment results of the X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structures (XANES) of the L 3,2-edges and the M 3,2 -edges of representative 5d metals. Emphasis is placed on [...]
