Abstract
We review experimental data on the electron and photon emission from island metal films (IMFs) energized by passing current or by infrared laser irrad iation. A model of nonequilibrium heating of the electron gas in nanopartic les is substantiated and used to interpret the experimental results. The ap plications of the island metal films are also exemplified.
