Plasmons in supported size-selected silver nanoclusters.
The plasmonic behavior of size-selected supported silver clusters is studied by surface second harmonic generation spectroscopy for the first time. A blue shift of ∼0.2 eV in the plasmon resonance is observed with decreasing cluster size from Ag55 to Ag9. In addition to the general blue shift, a nonscalable size-dependence is also observed in plasmonic behavior of Ag nanoclusters, which is attr...
متن کاملProduction of Size-Selected Tin Nanoclusters for Device Applications
This work reports on the fabrication of tin nanoclusters by sputtering and inert-gas condensation inside an ultrahigh vacuum compatible system. This technique allows to fine tune the size and yield of nanoclusters by controlling the nanocluster source parameters. The produced nanoclusters are deposited on SiO2/Si substrate with pre-formed electrical electrodes to produce a nanocluster device. T...
متن کاملPlasmons in Supported Size-Selected Silver Nanoclusters: Supporting Information
The investigation of size dependent effects of supported clusters with integral methods like optical spectroscopy demands a low surface coverage so that agglomeration can be excluded. In addition the plasmon resonance depends strongly on interparticle interactions if the distance between neighboring particles is too small1,2. The threshold value for our experimental setup was determined experim...
متن کاملOxygen electroreduction catalyzed by gold nanoclusters: strong core size effects.
Bigger isn't better: Gold nanoclusters exhibit enhanced electrocatalytic activity in oxygen reduction when the core size decreased from Au(140) to Au(11), as reflected by the onset potential E(onset) and peak current density J(K) (see picture). The increasing fraction of surface atoms with low coordination numbers and the shift of the d-band center to the Fermi level facilitate oxygen adsorption.
متن کاملCatalysis by Supported Gold Nanoclusters
The physical and chemical properties of supported Au clusters are markedly sensitive to cluster size and morphology. To investigate the origin of the unique properties of nanosized Au clusters, model catalysts consisting of Au clusters of varying sizes have been prepared on single crystal TiO2(110) and ultrathin films of single crystalline TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3. The morphology, electronic struc...
