The study of low-dimensional materials has taken a broad importance due to the fundamental as well as technological interests. Metal nanoparticles are objects that occupy a special place between free atoms and three-dimensional systems [1]. The electronic structure of nanoparticles and their physico-chemical properties are of primary importance in their applications in heterogeneous catalysis, gas sensors, magnetic devices, etc. In the case of supported nanoparticles the influence of the substrate can modify significantly their electronic structure and induce special structures, leading thus to changes of properties important for applications. Because of high surface to volume ratio surface chemistry is crucial to control many properties of nanoparticles.
