Formation of Iron Oxide Particles by Reduction with Hydrazine

Druzhinina, Tamara S.; Herzer, Nicole; Höppener, Stephanie; Schubert, Ulrich S.

Abstract:

The reduction of iron acetate deposited onto surfaces by hydrazine vapor results in the formation of nanometer-sized particles and was investigated by means of SFM (see picture), TEM and XPS. The uniform size distribution of the formed particles can be explained by a model that involves the conversion of needle-like aggregates into individual particles.
