Gold clusters (average particle size is 1.5 nm) and nanoparticles (average particle size is 3.5 nm) with spherical morphology were fabricated by solution plasma sputtering in solution medium. This process was carried out in an open system under atmospheric pressure. During plasma region, rapid energ...
