Figure 1: Synthesis and characterization of single- and multi-core nanoclusters.

From: Formation of bimetallic clusters in superfluid helium nanodroplets analysed by atomic resolution electron tomography

Figure 1

(a) Schematic of the experimental setup for cluster synthesis: superfluid He-droplets are guided through two doping cells and terminated on a TEM grid. (b,c) Elemental maps of a single-core/shell Ag-Au cluster (b) and of a dual-core/shell cluster (c). The Ag elemental maps are extracted from the EELS signal of the Ag M-edge, the Au elemental maps from the Au L-lines in the energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) signal. (d) Calculated occurrence probability of single-, double- and triple-core clusters as a function of final cluster size. Scale bars, 2 nm.
