Generation of Binary COOx/SiO2 Nanoparticles from Organocompound Precursors
Moravec, Pavel ; Smolík, Jiří ; Bakardjieva, Snejana ; Levdansky, V.V.
In recent years cobalt and cobalt oxide nanoparticles have attracted substantial research effort because of their potential applications such as protective materials, catalysts, magnetic data recorders, batteries and gas sensors (Jang et al., 2004). To improve their functionality and biocompatibility nanoparticles are frequently coated with SiO2 (Teleki et al., 2008). In this work, we studied CoOx-SiO2 binary nanoparticles synthesis by metal organics chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using organo-compound precursors cobalt acetylacetonate (CoAA) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS).

Influence of Size Effects on Homogeneous Nucleation Inside Nanoparticles
Levdansky, V.V. ; Smolík, Jiří ; Ždímal, Vladimír ; Moravec, Pavel
It is known that many physicochemical processes in aerosol systems with nanoscale particles and in nanoparticles themselves depend on the particle size. The influence of size dependence of the condensation coefficient on gas-phase nucleation was discussed in (Levdansky et al., 2010). Some problems related to nucleation in confined space, in particular the depletion effect of the ambient phase, were considered in (Kožíšek et al., 2011; Schmelzer and Abyzov, 2011). Here we study the size effects in homogeneous nucleation inside nanoparticles related to size dependence of the effective rate constant for the attachment of monomers to the critical cluster.
