Clusters are ensembles of bound atoms intermediate in size between a molecule and a bulk
solid. Some of these clusters form stable units with atomically precise structures that give …

Magnetic clusters are aggregates of a few to thousands of atoms or molecules that exhibit
magnetism. Understanding the evolution of magnetism from individual atom to bulk solid is …

We used a scanning tunneling microscope to probe the interactions between spins in
individual atomic-scale magnetic structures. Linear chains of 1 to 10 manganese atoms …

The knowledge of the atomic structure of clusters composed by few atoms is a basic
prerequisite to obtain insights into the mechanisms that determine their chemical and …

Structure and Properties of Nanoalloys is devoted to the topic of alloy nanoparticles, the bi-
or multicomponent metallic nanoparticles that are often called nanoalloys. The interest in …

The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of Co n clusters (n= 2–20) have been
investigated using density functional theory within the pseudopotential plane wave method …

Based on large-scale density functional theory calculations we provide a systematic
overview of the size dependence of the energetic order and magnetic properties of various …

The periodic shell structure and surface reconstruction of metallic FePt nanoparticles with
icosahedral structure has been quantitatively studied by high-resolution transmission …

Spin and orbital magnetic moments of cationic iron, cobalt, and nickel clusters have been
determined from x-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy. In the size regime of n= 10 …

A molecular beam of multilayer metal− benzene organometallic clusters M n (C6H6) m (M=
Al, Sc, Ti, and V) was produced by a laser vaporization synthesis method, and their magnetic …
