The accurate determination of lattice parameters of small colloidal Pt particles in solution can be accomplished by EXAFS analysis. Thus, it could be demonstrated that a lattice contraction (0.4 %) takes place in the transition from the metal to the colloidal state. The results of the EXAFS investigations supplement those obtained by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The diagram on the right shows a typical HREM photograph of a colloid particle with perfect cubic face centered lattice.
