One of the major problems with the application of nanotechnology is that the properties of the materials depend sensitively of the size of the particles. It is very difficult to grow particles or particle clusters that are monodisperse and to grow structures that have selected sizes over a wide size range using a single process. The invention described below take advantage of the latter feature in particular.
