Abstract

We have fabricated nanometer spherical silicon and germanium particles by dissolving semiconductors in some melted metals (aluminum, indium). The first transmission electron microscopy images and electron microdiffraction patterns of the spherical Si and Ge particles are presented. The obtained spherical particles have sizes from hundreds nanometers to tens angstroms, the diameters of the smallest ones are about 1.5 nm that are close to calculated sizes of hypothetic silicon "fullerenes" Si₆₀.
