Abstract In this paper we report the X-ray photoemission characteristics of CuO nanoparticles with surface modifications. We found the enhancement of interatomic resonant charge transfer and multi-electron relaxation processes in the coated CuO nanoparticles, which were in agree-ment with the conclusions of polaron-related structural transition appearing under quantum confinement and dielectric confinement effects, as observed in the optical absorption and infrared vibration spectra of this system.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
