Scanning transmission electron microscopy is one of the essential techniques suitable not only for imaging of nanostructures, but also for various kinds of spectroscopy and, as it was recently demonstrated, nanomanipulation. In this thesis, we deal with an interaction of fast electrons and metallic spherical nanoparticles, specifically aluminium and gold nanospheres. First, we present both analytical and numerical calculations of electron energy loss spectra and their analysis for different parameters. The main part of the thesis is devoted to theoretical calculations of forces acting on the nanosphere due to the electron passing in its close proximity. Based on our novel results revealing a time evolution of the mechanical force, we also propose a possible mechanism responsible for the nanoparticle movement in electron microscopes.
