Abstract

In situ measurements of optical absorption and x-ray diffraction for small supported silver particles were performed under defined atmospheres at temperatures below 723 K. We found, for the first time, reversible changes both in optical absorption spectrum and lattice parameter of silver particles against the cyclic exchange of ambient gases between 5% H2/He and 1% 02/He. The present data indicate that the adsorption of oxygen results in a reduction in surface stress of silver particles, leading to a change in the shape of particles.
