A detailed description of the mechanism underlying chemical interface damping (CID) in silver nanoclusters is presented. The effect of adsorbates on the surface plasmon excitation in silver nanoclusters is explored by means ...

Limited stability of metal nanoparticles hinders their long-term uses and applications. For metal nanoclusters, this is even more critical, as physicochemical properties rely on the structure of only a few hundred atoms. ...

We characterize, by means of the definition of a generalized distance, the differences and similarities between binary nanoclusters. To define analytically, and to compute numerically this distance, we have generalized an ...

The kinetics of the NO-CO reaction on Pd nanoclusters is studied through a lattice-gas model and Monte Carlo simulation. Pd nanoclusters with three typical sizes: 2.8 nm, 6.9 nm and 15.6 nm, are considered. These nanoclusters ...

Hybrid films of poly (methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and silver fluorescent nanoclusters were structured by the Direct Laser Interference Patterning technique (DLIP) using few nanosecond laser pulses (355 nm) to obtain an arranged ...

Non-noble metal nanoclusters synthesis is receiving increased attention due to their unique catalytic properties and lower cost. Herein, the synthesis of ligand-free Ni nanoclusters with an average diameter of 0.7 nm ...
