Popis:	Gold clusters with diameters from 2 to 10 nm are prepared by evaporation on mica substrates. They are investigated with low energy electron loss spectroscopy in the reflected beam and characterised in a transmission electron microscope. The energy loss spectra show a broadening of the plasma peak with decreasing particle size. The plasma frequency shifts to higher energies. The size dependence of the half width and of the plasma frequency is compared to known models. The results support the quantum box model of Genzel et al.
