Abstract
In the past, the interest of physicists in metals has focused on the properties of their relatively free electrons, including electrical and thermal conductivity, and their magnetic properties. More recently, it has appeared that the properties of small clusters of metal atoms could be even more interesting to chemists since they can be powerful catalysts.
