Producing nanodimensional silver covering on aluminum oxide nanopowder

Abstract

The principal possibility of the composite particles production by the radiation-chemical method was shown. The composite particles were obtained in the nanoscale range ( 60 — 80 nm) from aluminum oxide partially coated with silver. The coating percentage was from 2 — 3% to 16 — 40%. The high efficiency of the production method was demonstrated. The ability to control the deposition process and the type of silver coating by changing the deposition time had also been established.
