Abstract: Methods for the preparation of nano-sized metal particles are considered. Theoretical approaches to the analysis of electron behaviour in systems with quantum-size effects are outlined. The results of experimental investigations of the thermodynamic and optical characteristics of small metal particles and thin films are presented. The data of experiments on the electron dynamics in single nanoparticles and nanoparticle ensembles are described. The self-assembly of nanoparticles to form supported ordered structures is considered. The bibliography includes 343 references.
