By using a low SEM accelerating voltage in the range of 5–7·5 kV with an electron backscatter diffraction system, the interaction volume of electrons with matter is markedly decreased, and the spatial resolution is improved. The authors present measurements which prove this relationship. Electron backscatter diffracti…

Recently, it has been found that polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a popular stabilizer in nanoparticles syntheses, possesses reducing ability for Ag+. Previous explanations of the reduction are, however, thought to be plausible. Based on detailed characterizations including UV-Vis, FTIR-ATR and XPS, we uncover the existenc…
