It demonstrates that quantum-plasmonics is possible at length scales that are useful for real applications. Light can interact with certain metals and can be captured in the form of plasmons, which are collective, ultra-fast oscillations of electrons that can be manipulated at the nano-scale. Surface plasmons are considered as a promising phenomenon for potentially bridging the gap between fast-operating-speed optics and nano-scale electronics. Quantum tunneling has been predicted to occur across two closely separated plasmonic resonators at length scales (<0.3 nm) that are not accessible using present-day nanofabrication techniques. Unlike top-down nanofabrication, the molecules between the closely-spaced metal nanoparticles could control the gap sizes down to sub-nanometer scales and act as the frequency controllers in the terahertz regime, providing a new control parameter in the fabrication of electrical circuits facilitated by quantum plasmon tunnelingSummary: General Introduction -- Plasmonics Properties, Stability and Chemical Reactivity of Metal Nanoparticles - A Literature Review -- Self-Assembly of Silver Nanoparticles with Sub-Nanometer Separation -- Quantum Plasmon Resonances Controlled by Molecular Tunnel Junctions -- Stability of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles under Electron Beam Irradiation -- Real-Time Imaging of Chemical Reaction between Gold and Silver Nanoparticles -- Real-Time Imaging of AuAg Core-Shell Nanoparticles Formation -- General Conclusions & OutlookPPN: PPN: 1028034709Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-CMS | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXC
