These studies are very important not only for knowing about the new optical properties but also for studying the characterization and detection methods of nanoparticles. Static and dynamic hyperpolarizability calculations have been performed to explore the nonlinear optical properties of aluminum metal clusters Al4M4 M=Li, Na, and K. Metallic silver particles in particular . The advantage of using metal clusters is that they are biocompatible, soluble, robust in terms of optical properties and small enough to go through the cell membranes in contrast to quantum dots. Noble metal nanoparticles have been intensely investigated due to their amazing properties such as optical, catalytic, and electric ones that can be controlled depending on the particles size, the size distribution, and shape [1]. Shahbazyan, “Quantum-size effects in SERS from noble-metal nanoparticles,” Microelectronics J. Kreibig U, Vollmer M: Optical Properties of Metal Clusters. There exist numerous methods of preparation of metal nanoparticles. €�It has long been understood that the distance between metal nanoparticles and paired dye molecules can affect the optical properties of the latter,” said Matthew Sfeir, coauthor and an optical scientist at the CFN. Vollmer, Optical Properties of Metal Clusters (Springer, 1995). Reetz and Helbig determined that the particle size of Pd clusters obtained by electrochemical reduction can be controlled by variation of the current density [53]. Currently, his research is focused on the optical properties and applications of noble metal nanoparticles and semiconductor nanocrystals. Human interest in the colors of such colloidal systems dates back to the Roman times, as pointed out by Kreibig and Vollmer[2] in their excellent review of the optical properties of metal clusters. Research conducted on eRSA HPC assets include ocean modeling, chemical and physical properties of metal clusters, optical fiber design, and genetic research into intelligence disabilities and epilepsy.. In particular, metal nanoparticles are attractive due to their unique biomedical1, catalytic2, and optical properties3.
