  • Patent number: 9718298
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of nanosystems as non deactivable security markers comprising metal atomic quantum clusters (AQCs) of at least two different size distributions encapsulated in a cavity with an inner diameter less than or equal to approximately 10 nm. These nanosystems are luminescence, particularly fluorescence after external excitation. The invention also relates to security documents, articles or elements incorporating these markers as well as to a method and a system for detecting the same.

  • Patent number: 9315687
    Abstract: The invention relates to conductive inks obtained by combining AQCs and metal nanoparticles. Atomic quantum clusters (AQCs), which melt at temperatures of less than 150° C., are used as low-temperature “flux” for the formulation of conductive inks. The combination of AQCs with bimodal and trimodal mixtures of nanoparticles of various sizes guarantees the elimination of free volumes in the final sintering of the nanoparticles in order to achieve electronic structures with very low resistivity (close to that of the bulk material) with low-temperature thermal treatments (<150° C.).
