Original article

Abstract: The concept of the nanoparticle radius has been analysed and its relationship with the number of molecules (atoms) the particle consists of. A conclusion has been made that in most cases the radius of the equimolecular dividing surface can be used as an adequate measure of the particle size.

Keywords: nanoparticle, radius, equimolecular dividing surface, nanoclusters, Gibbs method of surface phases, Wigner-Seitz radius, gyroscopic radius
