Abstract
Subnanoparticles (SNPs) exhibit unique properties and functions due to their extremely small particle sizes which extend into the quantum scale. Although the synthesis of SNPs requiring precise control of atomicity and composition has not been accomplished, we recently developed an atom-hybridization method (AHM) that realizes such atomic-level control using a macromolecular template. As a next step in the quest for innovative quantum materials, the practical creation of functional subnanomaterials will become a central subject. In this study, we established a new screening technique for functional SNPs by focusing on the simple indium-tin binary system with sequential compositions using the latest AHM. As a result, it was revealed that a thermodynamically unstable indium species was produced only at a certain composition leading to a durable luminescent function. Such a phenomenon in subnanosized substances will play an important role in the development of the as-yet-unknown field of quantum materials.
