DESCRIPTION:Prof. Francesca Baletto\nKing's College London\, UK\nChE-602 -
  Recent Events in Energy seminar series\n\nNanoclusters are today of wides
 pread use in various applications\, ranging from medicine\, to memory stor
 age\, optics\, plasmonics\, and catalysis. Such a wide range of applicatio
 ns is possible because of a large variety of their peculiar chemophysical 
 properties can be tuned by playing with size and chemical composition of t
 he nanoparticle itself. Indeed\, the properties of a cluster depend on the
 ir geometry\, although this relationship is not fully understood yet. In t
 his talk\, we will try to elucidate this link with examples taken from nan
 omagnetism [1] and nanocatalysis [2]. The general idea is to deliver a geo
 metrical fingerprint\, which can be used to predict the qualitative behavi
 our of a metallic nanocatalyst over a wide size range.\n \n[1] C. DiPaola
