Recent advances in aerosol generation of materials are reviewed. Gas-to-particle and spray
processes (spray pyrolysis) for powder generation and various routes for film generation are …

Water-in-oil microemulsions have been used for the synthesis of a variety of nanoparticles
since the technique was first introduced in 1982. In this paper we have reviewed several …

Proudly serving the scientific community for over a century, this 97th edition of the CRC
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is an update of a classic reference, mirroring the growth …

Current research into semiconductor clusters is focused on the properties of quantum dots—
fragments of semiconductor consisting of hundreds to many thousands of atoms—with the …

Nanocrystalline solids are polycrystals the crystal size of which is a few (typically 1 to 10)
nanometers so that 50% or more of the solid consists of incoherent interfaces between …

Semiconductor nanocrystals exhibit a wide range of size-dependent properties. Variations in
fundamental characteristics ranging from phase transitions to electrical conductivity can be …

The experimental and theoretical study of molecular anions has undergone explosive
growth over the past 40 years. Advances in techniques used to generate anions in …

Ab initio calculations have been performed to study the structures and energies of
intermediatesized silicon clusters (Sin'n= 7-10). All geometries have been optimized at the …

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra (UPS) are reported for mass-selected negative carbon
clusters extracted from a pulsed supersonic beam. In the size range from 48 to 84 atoms …

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra (UPS) are reported here for semiconductor clusters
prepared in a supersonic beam. Using a new magnetically focused time-of-flight …
