The book addresses a wide audience, from the beginner in this field to the expert. Starting from fundamental concepts of adsorbate - surface interactions, the modification of electronic properties through electron confinement as well as concepts of cluster production, the book will deal with very distinct properties of the new metallic nanostructures.
The physics of clusters - which is an interesting field in itself - is combined here with the properties of solid surfaces This combination provides the physical basis for the understanding of metallic nanostructures
