Abstract

We have produced nanophase iron clusters inside a gas cell by decomposing iron pentacarbonyls from the mixture of ∼20 Torr Fe(CO)5/∼3 Torr SF6 with a pulsed CO2 laser. The product displayed a black tint. Its composition was identified to be mostly iron from an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission spectrum. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern indicates a body-centered cubic structure for the cluster. A transmission electron micrograph proves that their diameter ranges between 50 and 70 Å and their average diameter is 60 Å.
