Synthesis of Carbon Encapsulated Mono- and Multi-Iron Nanoparticles

Figure 2

(a) Illustration of CEMINPs; the iron cores are located very close to each other. (b) Close observation of a few individual multi-iron cores at carbon shell nanoparticles. (c) Appearance of single oval shape iron nanoparticle in N100 samples; this is probably due to the coalescence between two particles.
