Color Tunability and Electrochemiluminescence of Silver Nanoclusters

摘要

When reducing the bulk size of metals firstly to nanoparticles and further to few-atom nanoclusters,new properties appear that allow applications of these species in optical systems,catalysis and biomedical technology.Metal nanoparticles have properties that are dominated by their surface plasmons,that is,the collective oscillation of conduction electrons.
