Optical Properties of Metal Clusters (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1995)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1995, 9 December 2010

This book extends the approaches of optical molecular and solid-state methods to cluster - a state of matter intermediate between moleculars and solids - revealing how their optical properties evolve as a function of size. The combination of reviews of experimental techniques, lists of results and detailed descriptions of selected experiments will appeal to experts and also to newcomers and graduate students in the rapidly expanding field of clusters, small particles and cluster matter.
