• Specific heat capacity: C = ∆Q/(m ∆T) • For polycrystalline materials at high T: -1 -1 CV = 3 R /M ~ 26 J mol K , where M is mol wt, R is gas constant [ 1 J = 0.239 cal, 1 cal = heat needed to raise 1 g of H2O by 1 deg] • For nanocrystalline material at high T:

CV is higher than the bulk due to quantum confinement effects and higher surface energy. • Examples: Pd 6 nm : +48% 25-37 J mol-1 K-1 at 250 K Cu 8 nm : +8% 24-26 J mol-1 K-1 at 250 K Ru 6 nm : +22% 23-28 J mol-1 K-1 at 250 K

In addition to changes in the mechanical property (related to physical structure), thermal property, and in reactivity (deteriorative property), changes in optical, electrical, and magnetic properties also occur.

Re mechanical property… Surface and interfacial forces (e.g. adhesion forces, capillary forces, strain forces) dominate at the nanoscale. These forces could overcome forces at macro scale (e.g. gravity). E.g. superhydropho- bicity of lotus leaf; surface coating; NEMS. Source: http://spie.org/x33323.xml 02- 13 The Lycurgus Cup 400 AD

Reflected light = Appeared as green like jade Transmitted light = Appeared as red like ruby

“The mythological scenes on the cup depict the death of Lycurgus, King of the Edoni in Thrace at the hands of Dionysus and his followers. A man of violent temper, Lycurgus attacked Dionysus and one of his maenads, Ambrosia. Ambrosia called out to Mother Earth, who transformed her into a vine. She then coiled herself about the king, and held him captive. The cup shows this moment when Lycurgus is enmeshed in vines by the metamorphosing nymph Ambrosia, while Dionysus with his thyrsos and panther (Fig 2), a Pan and a satyr torment him for his evil behaviour. It has been thought that the theme of this myth - the triumph of Dionysus over Lycurgus - might have been chosen to refer to a contemporary political event, the defeat of the emperor Licinius (reigned AD 308-24) by Constantine in AD 324.”

Surface plasmons (SPs) are natural collective oscillations of the electron gas in metals. The localized SP resonance frequency depends on the size and shape of the nanoparticle (and its dielectric function). Absorption peak broadens and shifts to longer wavelengths as size increases above 50 nm. Reflection (caused by scattering) is weaker at smaller sizes.

02- 15 Quantum Confinement

When an electron is promoted from valence to conduction bands, an electron-hole pair known as an exciton is created in the bulk lattice. The physical separation between e- and h+ is known as the exciton Bohr radius (rB). When the size (or diameter D) of an nano-object (), i.e. D  2rB, this to quantum confinement of the exciton. Unlike bulk semiconductor crystal, the dimensions of a quantum dot (or an nano-object) could be quite small. Adding or removing an atom could change the dimension of the nanocrystal a lot, causing significant change in the bandgap of the

bulk, Eg.
