Abstract
The properties of a metal will change if its size is no longer macroscopic. The size regime between large clusters (< 10 nm) and bulk solids (> 100 nm) is often referred to as mesoscopic condensed matter [1]. If the linear dimensions become comparable to characteristic length scales of the system new phenomena appear, that are not present in the bulk. As an example, if the sample dimensions are lowered to such an extent that the wave coherence length L? becomes comparable with the sample size, the transport properties will bear resemblance with a scattering states problem. If the sample size is reduced still further, the distance between the energy levels around the Fermi level will no longer be small compared to k b T. In this final microscopic or cluster limit quantum size effects rather than intraparticle scattering will dominate the physical properties [1]. Because even between 1 and 10 nm the physics of a cluster changes drastically, one also might (as we will do below) let the mesoscopic regime start for particle sizes above 1 nm (roughly 50 atoms) .
