Dear All,
I have monitored the growth process of YbVO4 nanoparticles using EXAFS.
Here, nanoparticles were synthesized in water medium. Both initial and
final products (EXAFS) of the synthesis were measured using the continuous
flow approach whereas the intermediate products were recorded, in the glass
capillary, using the stopped flow. In the attached figure, you can find the
same (all products). At high energies of EXAFS, both initial and final
measurements show smooth behavior whereas the oscillating pattern/bump was
observed for the intermediate states.
Here, my question is: Is the oscillating pattern appearing in the
intermediate states due to the sedimentation/in-homogeneity of the product
in the capillary or it is the characteristic of the synthesis?
With regards,
Raj
