Optical Properties of Metal Clusters

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 25))

Abstract

Da „Goldatome sich sicher optisch anders verhalten als kleine Goldkügelchen“ wäre es „daher wahrscheinlich sehr interessant, die Absorption der Lösungen mit allerkleinsten amikroskopischen Teilchen zu untersuchen and gewissermaßen optisch den Vorgang zu verfolgen, wie sich die Goldteilchen aus den Atomen aufbauen“ [1.1].1 Mie’s idea of 1908 about the study of optical properties of gold particles with sizes below the resolution limit of light microscopes had to wait more than half a century for its realization, that is until the development in the past two decades of the new field of cluster science.
