NMR Of Small Platinum Particles

摘要

exp 195 Pt NMR lineshapes as well as relaxation data are presented in three different samples of platinum metal particles (46%, 26%, and 15% dispersion) supported on alumina. The electronic properties of these particles are very much different from that of bulk Pt metal. A prominent peak in the lineshape has been identified as a surface resonance which arises from Pt nuclei on the surface of the Pt particles. We find that these surface Pt atoms are non-metallic when coated with adsorbed molecules. (ERA citation 06:001068)
