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 …

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 …

Direct laser vaporization of transition-metal/graphite composite rods produced single-walled
carbon nanotubes (SWT) in the condensing vapor in a heated flow tube. A much higher yield …

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 …

Self‐consistent density functional calculations for the adsorption of O and CO on flat and
stepped Au (111) surfaces are used to investigate effects which may increase the reactivity …

The field of cluster research can trace its origins back to the mid-nineteenth century when
early studies of colloids, aerosols, and nucleation phenomena were reported. The field …

A higher resolution magnetic bottle photoelectron spectrometer for the study of the electronic
structure of size‐selected metal clusters is presented. The initial study on Fe− n (n= 3–24) is …

The properties of elements from atoms to bulk can be divided into two regimes:(i) a scalable
regime where properties vary smoothly as some power law until they reach the bulk limit and …

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 …
