Abstract :
Tin (Sn) nanoparticles with various sizes were synthesized from a chemical reduction method. Their morphological and thermal characterizations were studied. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) study showed that significantly low level of oxides was formed. The thermal characterization by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) exhibited the size dependency of the melting points
