Abstract	Ideally the morphology, structure, and electronic properties from an individual nanoparticle would be obtained in a (scanning) transmission electron microscope (S)TEM experiment at an irradiation dose that does not lead to appreciable sample damage. Gold nanoparticles are of interest as catalysts and as building blocks of plasmonics devices. Irradiation of Au particles by an electron beam results in both hopping of individual Au atoms, observed in extremely small clusters, and in frequent change of orientation of particle with respect to the incident electron beam, observed even in particles with volume more than (10)³ nm³
