Resumen:
Systems in the range between 1-50 nm have an intermediate size between single molecules and bulk materials, and that is why they exhibit unique electronic properties, obeying quantum-mechanical rules1, that strongly depend on the particle size and shape, as well as interparticle interactions and protecting agent, if there were some. In these small systems, the outer electrons can tunnel between close particles. Mobile electrons are trapped and collectively oscillate, resulting in a plasmon resonance band. All quantum effects occur when the de Broglie wavelength of the valence electrons is of the order of the particle itself.
