Dennis A. Buschmann, Haru Hirai, Tatsuya Tsukuda
Abstract
This review article focuses on the ubiquitous icosahedral Au 13 core protected by organic ligands as a benchmark and derives empirical rules for tuning and enhancing photoluminescence properties through surface modification and heterometal doping.
