size-selectivefractionation; Introduction
Due to the unique mechanical, chemical, thermal, magnetic and optical properties of nanometer-sized materials, they are often utilized in many fields [1]. Monolayer-protected gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are nanoparticles of metal atoms stabilized by a
was investigated at room temperature. The results show that the peak emission energy of the size-selected AuNCs undergoes a blue shift when the size is decreased, which can be attributed to the quantum confinement effect.
