Electronic and Optical Properties of Gold and Gold Compos...
Sahu, Aditya Kumar
Materials on a scale of 1 - 100 nm have demonstrated that the properties are dependent on their size and shape. [1-3] The non-existence of symmetry at the interface or electron confinement, which is not linear in size, contributes to the creation of new properties on a nanoscale. [1] Thus, the materials at the nanometer scale (1 - 100 nm) contain a cluster of atoms or molecules whose properties are neither of their constituents nor that of the...
