摘要
Nanoscale cobalt clusters are synthesized in a silica glass matrix through implantation of high energy cobalt ions. Surface acoustic symmetrical vibrational modes of cobalt nanoclusters are detected using Raman spectroscopy. Mode intensity is found to depend strongly on excitation wavelengths. X-ray diffraction studies reveal face-centered-cubic phase of cobalt nanoclusters in postannealed samples. Postannealing in vacuum has led to significant growth of the cobalt nanoclusters in the matrix. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
