摘要：

Electron energy loss spectrometry and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy reveal characteristic plasmon excitations in both isolated Bi nanowires and an array of Bi nanowires within an Al2O3 matrix. As the average nanowire diameter decreases from 90 to 35 nm, both the volume plasmon energy and peak width increase. In addition, a lower-energy excitation is present in a very localized region at the Bi-Al2O3 interface. These results are discussed in the context of quantum confinement and the influence of interfaces on the electronic properties of nanocomposite materials. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
