Besides the present examples, it is proposed that this method can become a general approach for preparing monodispersed (N<100) metallic clusters on a supporting substrate.[SDGs]SDG7Agglomeration; Carrier concentration; Coalescence; Dielectric films; Electron mobility; Electronic structure; Nanostructured materials; Particle size analysis; Semiconductor quantum dots; Silicon compounds; Single crystals; Thermodynamic stability; Cobalt deposition; Cobalt nanoclusters; Electronic shell structure; Electronic transfer; Self limiting size distribution; Cobaltjournal article10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.1855062-s2.0-0037934504WOS:000182823900032
