Metal Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications

Metal nanoparticles are certain to be the building blocks of the next generation of

electronic, optoelectronic and chemical sensing devices. The physical limits imposed

by top-down methods such as photo- and electron- beam lithography dictate

that the synthesis and assembly of functional nanoscale materials will become

the province of chemists. In the current literature, there are three emerging

themes in nanoparticle research: synthesis and assembly of metal particles of

well-defined size and geometry,  structural and surface chemistry effects on

single electron charging, and  size, shape, and surface chemistry effects on particle

optical properties.

            Over the last decade there has been increased interest in “nanochemistry.” A variety

of supermolecular ensembles , multifunctional supermolecules , carbon

nanotubes , and metal and semiconductor nanoparticles have been synthesized

and proposed as potential building blocks of optical and electronic devices

. This has arisen for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is technological

advance, and the promise of control over material and device structure at length

scales far below conventional lithographic patterning technology
