Abstract
With decreasing size the density of electronic states of a metal parti cle becomes different from that of the bulk. This significantly change s the behaviour of the thermodynamic properties of such a particle. We present specific heat measurements in the range 60 mK-10 K on a serie s of chemically synthesized monodisperse. Pd particles with diameters of 1-15 nm. Pronounced size dependence of the electronic contribution was found.
