Single electron tunneling may occur in nanoparticle arrays when metal or semiconductor clusters are separated by distances of ca. 1 nm. The author shows that the electrical properties of these nanoparticles, mainly studied by complex impedance spectroscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy, make them candidates for future electronic devices with nanoscale architecture; a possible electrode pattern is sketched in the Figure.
