Nanopackaging

Abstract

As the radius, r, of a spherical particle shrinks, the surface/volume ratio, 3/r, and the proportion of its constituent atoms at the surface both increase. The stable interatomic bonding arrangements which exist within large crystals are not satisfied for surface atoms, which therefore become more mobile and more reactive, and nanoparticle properties become dominated by surface properties.
