TL;DR: The mean diameter of monodispersed Pd nanoparticles could be controlled from 17 to 30 A in a one-step reaction by changing the amount of protective polymer, poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) and the kind and/or the concentration of alcohol in the solvent as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method to control the size of monodispersed Pt nanoparticles with the use of an alcohol reduction is described. But this method is not suitable for nanoparticles of arbitrary diameter.

TL;DR: Unlike noble-metal nanostructures, ITO has no inter- and intraband transitions in the vis-near-IR region and represents a free-electron conduction, allowing us to systematically study the origin of optical effects arising from the SPRs of conduction electrons.

TL;DR: In this article, the Coulomb excitation of a very neutron-rich nucleus 32Mg to its 2+ state was studied using an unstable nuclear beam of 32 Mg at 49.2 MeV/u with a 208Pb target.

TL;DR: Rigorous characterization by optical spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis confirms that the Au25(SG)18 clusters were selectively obtained on the sub-100 mg scale by ligand exchange reaction under aerobic conditions and offers a practical and convenient method of synthesizing thiolated Au25 clusters on a large scale.
