Metal Nanoparticles and Clusters [electronic resource] : Advances in Synthesis, Properties and Applications /
Deepak, Francis Leonard.editor.
This book covers the continually expanding field of metal nanoparticles and clusters, in particular their size-dependent properties and quantum phenomena. The approaches to the organization of atoms that form clusters and nanoparticles have been advancing rapidly in recent times. These advancements are described through a combination of experimental and computational approaches and are covered in detail by the authors. Recent highlights of the various emerging properties and applications ranging from plasmonics to catalysis are showcased.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
