Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a nanocluster liquid dispersion where nanoclusters with a predetermined number of atoms are dispersed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a nanocluster liquid dispersion, the method comprising: generating nanoclusters, thereby forming generated nanoclusters; and collecting the nanoclusters in a dispersion medium that is flowing in a direction in which the nanoclusters travel, wherein the nanoclusters are in contact with the dispersion medium, and wherein at least a part of the dispersion medium flows along and follows an outer surface of a rotating body. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the dispersion medium flows so that a density of nanoclusters on a surface of the dispersion medium does not exceed an aggregation limit, in the collecting. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion medium is a solvent having low volatility with a boiling point of 160° C. or more and a vapor pressure of 100 Pa or less at room temperature. 4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising after the collecting: replacing the dispersion medium with a volatile dispersion medium having a boiling point lower than a boiling point of the dispersion medium. 5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising between the generating and the collecting: detecting whether predetermined nanoclusters are generated in the generating. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion medium has an ether bond or a siloxane bond, and wherein an end of the ether bond or the siloxane bond has an inert substituent terminal.
