  • Abstract
    We present results of our investigation of the synthesis and structural properties of bismuth nanoparticles. Particles of bismuth with sizes on the order of 10-30 nm are synthesized by low-temperature, solution-chemical techniques. Chemical reduction of bismuth salts takes place in specifically-tailored, aqueous-organic microemulsions. The resulting nanoparticles are characterized by x-ray diffraction, optical absorption and electron microscopy.
