Abstract
Small structures formed from a countable number of particles (atoms or molecules) and whose physical and chemical properties are functions of their sizes, are called nanoscopic structures. These structures are located between individual atoms (the size of an atom being about 0.1 nm) and large clusters consisting of up to \(10^8\) atoms or molecules.
