Ruthenium Nanoparticles

Nanoscaled materials are usually classified as materials having structured components with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. Smaller nanoparticles containing 104 or less atoms are referred to as nanoclusters. These clusters are of interest because they can explain the transition from atomic properties to bulk material properties. There are different types of nanoclusters are: vander walls nanoclusters, ionic nanoclusters, metal nanoclusters.
