Nanoparticles can be beautiful, as in stained glass windows, or they can be ugly as in wear
and corrosion debris from implants. We estimate that there will be about 70 000 papers in …

Nucleation in atomic crystallization remains poorly understood, despite advances in
classical nucleation theory. The nucleation process has been described to involve a …

This review article is devoted to results of theoretical and experimental investigations of
properties of nanometer metal particles. First, the modern theory of equilibrium structures …

Catalysis using gold is emerging as an important field of research in connection with
'green'chemistry,,. Several hypotheses have been presented to explain the markedly high …

Metal particles grown by vapour deposition on clean and well-defined oxide surfaces are
used as model catalysts. These new model catalysts allow, unlike metal single crystals, a …

Data on the experimental structure of small particles is reviewed, the emphasis being an
attempt to correlate experimental information with theoretical models. First, a general …

Abstract The melting behavior of 0.1–10-nm-thick discontinuous indium films formed by
evaporation on amorphous silicon nitride is investigated by an ultrasensitive thin-film …

Numerous experimental and theoretical studies are currently being performed which are
aimed at understanding why gold starts to catalyse these reactions when its dimensions go …

An unambiguous determination of the three-dimensional structure of nanoparticles is
challenging. Electron tomography requires a series of images taken for many different …

Gold can be deposited as nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters of 2–5 nm and clusters with
diameters less than 2 nm on a variety of materials such as oxides, carbides, and sulfides of …
