Precisely controlled fabrication, manipulation and in-situ analysis of Cu based nanoparticles
Abstract The increasing demand for nanostructured materials is mainly motivated by their key role in a wide variety of technologically relevant fields such as biomedicine, green sustainable energy or catalysis. We have succeeded to scale-up a type of gas aggregation source, called a multiple ion clu...
