We used ultrafast time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy to experimentally investigate the optical response of small metal nano-objects in the few nanometer range (< 2 nm), where a transition from a small solid behaviour to a molecular one is expected. The modification of the intrinsic thermalization processes (electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions) has been studied both on glass-embedded mass-selected silver samples and chemically synthesized ligand-stabilized atomic-defined gold clusters. Electron gas internal thermalization and cooling with the lattice are shown to be affected by size reduction and the concomitant discretization of electronic states. The acoustic response in the same small size range has been investigated. Vi...
