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 …

The optics of correlated disordered media is a conceptually rich research topic emerging at
the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. Inspired …

The structural properties of free nanoclusters are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the
interplay of energetic, thermodynamic, and kinetic factors in the explanation of cluster …

New physics occurs in semiconductors when one or more dimensions of the crystal are
reduced to a size comparable to bulk electron delocalization lengths (tens to hundreds of …

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 …

dielectric material - Google Patents US7776724B2 - Methods of filling a set of interstitial …

Gold and silver clusters with diameters in the nanometer-size range were grown in an inert-
gas beam and deposited on the end of a tungsten field emitter. The field-emission current …

In the 1990s, nanoparticles and quantum dots began to be used in optical, electronic, and
biological applications. Now they are being studied for use in solid-state quantum …

A direct connection between the solid-liquid transition in atomic clusters and the
macroscopic phase transition is established through analysis of the size scaling of the latent …

We report transmission electron microscopic studies of in-situ temperature-induced shape
transformation and melting behavior of polymer-capped cubic and tetrahedral nanocrystals …
