An interesting feature of elemental boron and boron compounds is the occurrence of highly
symmetric icosahedral clusters. The rich chemistry of boron is also dominated by three …

Prepared within biocompatible poly (amidoamine) dendrimer hosts, blue emitting Au8
nanodots were prepared with fluorescence quantum yields more than 100 times larger than …

Clusters of atoms can adopt different atomic arrangements from bulk materials. They often
exhibit novel structures and properties, which provide opportunities for new types of …

We report a joint experimental and theoretical study of the electronic and atomic structures of
small gold clusters with up to 14 atoms. Well-resolved photoelectron spectra were obtained …

Experimental evidences for the non-dissociative chemisorption of O2 are presented on even-
numbered free Au anion clusters (Aun−, n= number of atoms) up to Au20− at room …

We have investigated the lowest-energy structures and electronic properties of the 20-atoms
coinage metal clusters (Cu20, Ag20, and Au20) using density functional theory (DFT) within …

(4) and Papke et al.(5) on Thermoplasma acidophilum. This thermophilic archaebacterium
was first discovered in self-igniting coal refuse piles in North America; its natural habitat in …

By using laser ablation on mixtures of coinage metals M (Cu, Ag, Au) and lead, M/Pb binary
cluster anions containing up to tens of atoms were produced and analyzed. Most of the …

Hybrid density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to study AuX2 (X= Cl, Br,
and I) clusters in the neutral and anionic charge states. The equilibrium geometries of AuX2 …

Perturbed-angular correlation, x-ray absorption, and small-angle x-ray scattering
spectroscopies were suitably combined to elucidate the local structure of highly diluted and …
