Semiconductor and noble metal nanoclusters in the nanometer size regime display many interesting optical, electronic and chemical properties that are sizedependent (see for example, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]). Such nanoscale materials have potential applications in developing new catalysts [14,15], nanosensors [16][17][18], and optoelectronic nanodevices [12,[19][20][21][22][23].
