Deskripsi

The collective properties of atomically precise nanoclusters bear vast potential for electronic materials by design. Here, the authors describe the self-assembly of Au32 nanoclusters into micro-crystals, which improves the electric conductivity and invokes new optical transitions caused by the high structural order.
