Formation of alumina nanocapsules by high-energy-electron irradiation of Na-dawsonite nanorods.
We report the synthesis of unique Al2O3 nanocapsules by high-energy-electron irradiation of Na-dawsonite and a formation mechanism different from thermal decomposition which usually produces NaAlO2. The novel decomposition process may open up a shortcut for fabricating hollow nanostructures.
