The formation and growth kinetics of PbS nanoparticles in lead stearate Langmuir-Blodgett films
The nucleation and growth processes of PbS nanoparticles in lead stearate Langmuir-Blodgett films depending on Pb content and the treatment duration in aqueous solution are presented. It is shown that nanoparticle growth kinetics is different due to different initial Pb concentration in LB films and otwo structure types-flat isolated nanoparticles and domains can be formed.
