Abstract

A modified VERL-process (Vacuum evaporation on running liquids) employing high pressure magnetron sputtering has been used for the preparation of suspensions with metal nanoparticles. The method has been tested for Ag- and Fe-suspensions by varying the pressure of the Argon sputtering atmosphere in the range of 1 to 30 Pa. A narrow particle size distribution with a mean particle size ranging from 5–18 nm has been found. The mean particle size increases with increasing Argon pressure in the pressure range under investigation. A descriptive model for the process of particle formation as a function of sputtering gas pressure is given.
