Clusters and nanoparticles can be obtained in a highly crystalline order (depending on the chemical composition) and free of ligands. Clusters and nanoparticles are fabricated in ultra high vacuum which guarantees the purity. Clusters from few atoms to nanoparticles of few nm to 30 nm are produced. The size distribution is narrow and well controlled. All elements that can be magnetron sputtered can be used providing a wide choice of chemical compositions. Manufacturing of nanoparticles with structures that are not accessible by other routes. Does not generate toxic byproducts (only the Argon that is released into the atmosphere). The fabricated nanoparticles are completely free of ligands on their surface, which makes them especially suitable for applications in different fields, such as the aerospace sector, energy and nanomedicine.
