X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON EMISSION STRUCTURES OF CuO NANOPARTICLES

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.
