Abstract
Small metal and semiconductor particles with a size of a few nanometer s are one of the important systems in modern materials science. Nanopa rticles have found applications in many fields, ranging from catalysis to magnetic storage. In the present work, we discuss some of the meth ods to characterize the structure of nanoparticles using electron micr oscopy, We also discuss some of the exciting novel applications of nan oparticles in nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. Finally, we show that nanoparticles play an important role in producing atmospheric polluta nts.
