The lattice parameter increases as a function of the hydrogen partial pressure. The expansion is smaller than that of bulk palladium and is shown to be cluster-size dependent. An (a–a9) phase transition was observed for the large clusters but small clusters do not show this transition. XRD analysis of the as-prepared clusters show that the 3.8-nm sized clusters predominantly have an icosahedral structure, while the 6.0-nm sized clusters have a cubic structure. The effect of size and structure of the cluster on the lattice expansion and on the phase transition will be discussed. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11889/7632 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0925-8388(02)01286-0 |
