We summarize here the research advances on the reactivity of metal clusters. After a simple
introduction of apparatuses used for gas-phase cluster reactions, we focus on the reactivity …

Gas phase nanoparticle production, manipulation and deposition is of primary importance
for the synthesis of nanostructured materials and for the development of industrial processes …

of available information. Even more importantly, some authors who have contributed
substantially to an area may have been overlooked. For this I apologize. I have, however …

We have observed giant magnetic moments in clusters of rhodium, Rh n (n= 12–32),
consistent with ferromagnetic ordering of the 4d electrons. Ferromagnetic behavior has not …

It is a thrill for me to be here today and to be the first of three speakers discussing the
wonders of the fullerenes, an infinite new class of carbon molecules. My colleagues in this …

This book supplies a systematic description of the preparation, characterization, and
manipulation of cluster beams for the synthesis of nanocrystalline materials. It addresses all …

Cross sections for collision‐induced dissociation (CID) of Fe+ n with Xe, 2≤ n≤ 10, are
presented. Experiments were performed on a newly constructed guided ion beam mass …

▪ Abstract Atoms and small molecules react with transition metal clusters in ways that are
analogous to the physisorption and chemisorption reactions observed on the corresponding …

We report the results of Stern-Gerlach-type magnetic deflection experiments on clusters of
cobalt and gadolinium. Cobalt clusters exhibit superparamagnetic behavior over a broad …

▪ Abstract This review discusses the reactivities and thermodynamics of small-size-specific
transition metal clusters and focuses on thermodynamic information, which has not been …
