摘要: Abstract Inert-gas condensation is a novel technique that can be used to produce nanoclusters for different applications. In the present work, dc sputtering combined with inert-gas were copper oxide inside an ultra-high vacuum compatible system. The size and yield of could controlled by adjusting flow rate, discharge power, aggregation length. results revealed formed as result either or both mechanisms: three-body two-body collisions. Herein, collision mechanism responsible nanocluster seed production, while growth through atomic coagulation nanoclusters. rate was found main factor determine size. compared discrete system model reasonable agreement. Thin film fabricated device. Electrical optical measurements device its suitability practical applications such solar cells.
