摘要: In the past few years, atom clusters with average diameters in range of 5–50 nm a variety materials, including metals and ceramics, have been synthesized by evaporation condensation high-purity gases followed consolidation situ under ultrahigh vacuum conditions to create nanophase materials. These new ultrafine-grained materials properties that are often significantly different considerably improved relative those their coarser-grained counterparts. The property changes result from small grain sizes, large percentage atoms boundary environments, interactions between grains. Since can be engineered during synthesis processing steps, cluster-assembled appear great technological potential beyond current scientific interest grain-size dependent properties. Recent research on is reviewed future considered.
