Role of d-electron density of states in the quantum size effect of Pt-Ni and Pt-Pd nanoparticles

S. Kitagawa, T. Ihara, Y. Kinoshita +3

We investigated the quantum size effect (QSE) in bimetallic Pt${}_{1-x}$Pd${}_x$ and Pt${}_{1-x}$Ni${}_x$ nanoparticles, using ${}^{195}$Pt nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. The tempe…
