The method of conventional calorimetric probes — A short review and application for the characterization of nanocluster sources

Mass Spectrometric Investigations of Nano‐Size Cluster Ions Produced by High Pressure Magnetron Sputtering

“…A magnetron discharge in combination with a gas aggregation region constitutes a complex plasma in which nano-particles can form and grow to larger sizes [1]. Previous studies report the preparation of nanocomposite films employing a high pressure magnetron sputtering source [14][15][16]. Simulations of complex plasma-driven nanocomposite formation were recently reported [17].…”

Ligand effects on the photoluminescence of atomically precise silver nanoclusters

“…Because of the known structure (for Ag 29 (BDT) 12 TPP 4 NCs), stability, and highly emissive nature (for Ag 29 (DHLA) 12 NCs), a large variety of Ag 29 NCs with different primary and secondary ligands have been reported focusing on their structure and PL properties making this Ag 29 the most studied silver NC so far. [44][45][46][47][48][49][50] While several reviews and perspectives have covered metal NCs and their properties, 1,2,25,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] no such review highlights the importance of the ligand effect on atomically precise silver NCs. This is primarily because of a lack of reports on single atomically precise AgNCs with a variety of ligands, unlike the case of Au 25 NCs.…”

Energy flux measurements on an atmospheric pressure surface barrier discharge

“…The time derivatives should be parallel as the gap in between is proportional to the energy flux following equation (3). The slopes are correlated to the energy loss term P out which can be written as a function of the cooling efficiency α and equilibrium temperature T eq [31]:…”
