摘要: Composites of copper–tin (CuxSn1-x) nanoclusters were synthesized using the magnetron dc sputtering gas–condensation technique. Targets with controlled ratios Sn to Cu used produce CuxSn1-x different compositions. The effects on nanocluster size and yield discharge power, inert gas flow rate, aggregation length investigated a quadrupole mass filter. power was optimized maximize yield. results show that as rate increases then decreases. These dependences could be understood in terms dominant production mechanisms. This work demonstrates ability controlling nanoclusters’ composition by optimizing source operation conditions.
