Electron quantization is a fundamental phenomenon that accompanies the transition from bulk metals to nanoclusters. The associated opening of an energy gap at the Fermi level crucially affects various properties of the nanostructures such as their electrical and optical behavior as well as their performance in catalytic reactions. Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy has been employed to analyze the formation of quantum well states in two-dimensional gold nanostructures on Magnesium oxide ultrathin films, concentrating on the size regime between 50 and 300 atoms where the metal to nonmetal transition takes place. Starting with the investigation of gold clusters with arbitrary shape, the discrete electronic...
