Abstract

Ultrafine particles of various metals [Cr, Mn, Fe, Al, Ni, Cu, In, Si, Ge, Zn, Mg and Sn], produced by the gas evaporation method were covered with the oxide layer of thickness less than 10 nm by exposure to air. In order to clarify the structure and thickness of the surface oxide layer on various metal ultrafine particles, high-resolution electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy have been extensively used.
