Using a home modified Mantis dedicated nanocluster© source we have the possibility to produce nanoparticles (NPs) of a great variety of materials with relatively small size dispersion and with properties that can be novel and different from their bulk counterpart. The system works on the principle of inert gas condensation and magnetron sputtering. We have produced a whole range of different NPs with size and motif control.

Covalent bonded NPs, in particular carbon;
Metallic NPs: Cu¹, Fe, Mg, Mo, Co, Al, Ag, Nb, Ti, Pd;
Semiconductor NPs, in particular Ge;
Bimetallic NPs: MgNi, MoCu, MgTi with several compositions;
Ternary alloy NPs, e.g. GeSbTe with several compositions and with amorphous and crystallinity control.

The particles can be deposited on most surfaces provided they have good vacuum compatibility.

The applications range from novel:

Wetting phenomena; Cu NPs covered surfaces giving rose petal effect²;
Bimetallic Mo-Cu NPs which are bulk immiscible but in NPs fully miscible³;
Bimetallic NPs for hydrogen storage⁴: MgNi, MgTi, MgCu;
Magnetic NPs: Fe-Fe₃O₄ core-shell particles for medical applications.
