High energy ball milling process for nanomaterial synthesis
For all nanocrystalline materials prepared by highenergy ball milling synthesis route, surface and interface contamination is a major concern. In particular, mechanical attributed contamination by the milling tools (Fe or WC) as well as ambient gas (trace impurities such as O 2, N 2 in rare gases) can be problems for highenergy ball milling. However, using optimized milling speed and milling time
