There has been a great interest in understanding the interactions between light and noble
metal nanoparticles ever since Michael Faraday's study of the ruby-red color of colloidal …

We present an implementation for considering finite lifetime of the electronic excited states
into linear-response theory within time-dependent density-functional theory. The lifetime of …

The rapid development of experimental techniques to produce ultracold alkali molecules
opens the ways to manipulate them and to control their dynamics using external electric …

The properties of the alkali metal clusters have been investigated by using ab initio
electronic structure calculations, with special reference to their structural evolution and the …

Low-energy isomers of Ag N clusters are studied within gradient-corrected density functional
theory over the size range of N= 9–20⁠. The candidate conformations are drawn from an …

An analytical implementation of static dipole polarizabilities within the generalized Kohn–
Sham semicanonical projected random phase approximation (GKS-spRPA) method for spin …

Metal clusters, an intermediate state between molecules and the extended solid, show
peculiar bonding and reactivity patterns. Their significance is critical to many areas …

This work presents a density functional study of neutral, cationic, and anionic sodium cluster
heptamers. The cluster structures were optimized with the local density approximation as …

The study of small clusters is intended to fill the knowledge gap between single atoms and
bulk material. He nanodroplets are an ideal matrix for preparing and investigating clusters in …

Static dipole polarizabilities for the ground-state geometries of yttrium clusters (Y n, n≤ 15)
are investigated by using the numerically finite field method in the framework of density …
