Transmission electron microscopy revealed the existence of a hollow interior in the tin-core/tin oxide-shell nanostructures. It is believed that the low melting Sn core was hollowed out by electron beam irradiation of the sample during microscopy. The 2-5 nm tin oxide hollow nanoparticles and 80-120 nm tin oxide hollow nanocubes had thin but stable shells capable of preserving the integrity of the large cavity within. © Springer Science+Business Media Inc. 2006. | Source Title: | Journal of Nanoparticle Research | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/90404 | ISSN: | 13880764 | DOI: | 10.1007/s11051-006-9081-x |
