Abstract
A set of nanoparticles is disclosed. Each nanoparticle of the set of nanoparticles is comprised of a set of Group IV atoms arranged in a substantially spherical configuration. Each nanoparticle of the set of nanoparticles further having a sphericity of between about 1.0 and about 2.0; a diameter of between about 4 nm and about 100 nm; and a sintering temperature less than a melting temperature of the set of Group IV atoms.
