Abstract: The crystal structure of lead and indium nanoparticles produced by the introduction of lead and indium into porous glasses with an average pore diameter of 7 nm at a high pressure is studied by X-ray diffraction. In contrast to the lead nanoparticles, the indium nanoparticles exhibit pronounced anomalous asymmetry of their elastic peaks, which can be explained by the fact that the tetragonal body-centered phase in the “core” of a particle transforms gradually into a face-centered cubic phase near the surface.
