Nanostructures are considered as chemical systems of high potential owing to their unusual properties at the interface those molecular species and bulk metals. Consequently, they promising candidates for application in different domains such catalysis, magnetism, medicine, opto-electronics or sensors. The control characteristics nanostructures is a fundamental prerequisite if one envisages exploring physical since vary dramatically with size, shape surface state. Thus, development efficient...
