The growth and structure of Pt nanocrystals (NCs) formed by ion implantation in has been investigated as a function of the annealing conditions. Transmission electron microscopy and small-angle x-ray scattering measurements demonstrate that the annealing ambient has a significant influence on NC size. Samples annealed in either Ar, , or forming gas (95% : 5% ) at temperatures ranging from form spherical NCs with mean diameters ranging from 1–14 nm. For a given temperature, annealing in Ar yields the smallest NCs. and forming gas ambients produce NCs of comparable size though the latter induces H chemisorption at and above, as verified with x-ray absorption spectroscopy. This H intake is accompanied by a bond-length expansion and increased structural disorder in NCs of diameter .
