Nanophase tin powder having sizes ranging from 6 to 40 nm was synthesized by the inert gas condensation method using helium as the convection gas. As-synthesized particles smaller than 8 nm were the amorphous tin oxide. As-synthesized particles larger than 10 nm can be characterized by the core-shell structure comprising inner crystalline tin core and outer amorphous tin oxide shell having a thickness of about 4 nm. Upon annealing in air, the oxidation of nanophase tin particles strongly depended on particle size. With increasing particle size, the transformation into the crystalline phases took places at a higher temperature. Calculation of the size dependent melting temperature of tin particles indicates that melting of the tin encapsulated with the amorphous tin oxide took place prior to the oxidation.

We present magnetic measurements on iron ( Fe ) nanoparticles in the size range 10–30 nm produced by the Inert Gas Condensation process (IGC). Structural characterization studies show the presence of a core/shell structure, where the core is bcc Fe while the surface layer is Fe -oxide. Analysis of the magnetic measurements shows that the nanoparticles display very large uniaxial anisotropy, K eff ≈3 - 4 × 106 erg/cc. The observed room temperature coercivities lie in the range ≈600 – 973 Oe , much larger than those expected from the Stoner–Wohlfarth model using the bulk iron anisotropy. It can be inferred from the coercivity variation with the particle size that there is a general trend of the coercivity increasing with size, culminating finally in a decrease for high sizes (30 nm) possibly due to the onset of non-coherent magnetization reversal processes.

The preparation of nanocrystalline aluminum (NC Al) was conducted in two steps. After the NC Al powder was synthesized by an Inert gas condensation (IGC) method in a helium atmosphere of 500 Pa, the NC Al powder was in-situ compacted into a pellet with a 10 mm diameter and 250 μm-300 μm thickness in a high vacuum (10-6 Pa-10-7 Pa) at room temperature. The NC Al samples were not exposed to air during the entire process. After the pressure reached 6 GPa, the relative density could reach 99.83%. The results showed that the grain size decreased with the increased of in-situ forming pressure. The NC Al samples present obvious ductile fracture, and the tensile properties were greatly changed with the increase of forming pressure.
