Description:
Article The transition from discrete molecular-like to smooth optical spectra in gold nanostructures of increasing size is important to the understanding of emergent bulk properties. Here, the authors observe discrete features even for intermediate gold clusters believed to have necessarily smooth spectra. Nature Communications doi: 10.1038/ncomms4785 Authors: H.-Ch. Weissker, H. Barron Escobar, V. D. Thanthirige, K. Kwak, D. Lee, G. Ramakrishna, R. L. Whetten, X. López-Lozano
