We present a brief overview of recent theoretical studies of the core-level binding energy
shift (CLS) in solid metallic materials. The focus is on first principles calculations using the …

Evolution of metallic properties of free and initially neutral nanoscale Bi clusters has been
studied using synchrotron radiation excited photoelectron spectroscopy. The 4f and 5d core …

The recently developed Exchange Metal Cluster Source (EXMEC) is described. The source
is designed for electron-spectroscopic studies of neutral metal clusters. Preliminary results …

Nanoclusters containing metallic lead and lead oxide have been produced by self-assembly
out of a primary mixture of lead atoms and oxygen in a reactive sputtering-based cluster …

The electronic structure of free aluminum clusters with∼ 3–4 nm radius has been
investigated using synchrotron radiation-based photoelectron and Auger electron …

Neutral Pb clusters in the size range from a few tens of atoms up to∼ 100 atoms are studied
using synchrotron-based photoelectron spectroscopy. The electronic structure is seen to …

Free nanoscale tin clusters in the average size range of a few tens up to~ 500 atoms are
studied by means of valence and core-level photoelectron spectroscopy. A self-consistent …

Abstract Binding energy shifts Bi–Bi 2–Bi (solid) and Sb–Sb 2–Sb 4–Sb (solid) have been
measured for the first time directly for Bi4f and Sb4d core levels by applying synchrotron …

Nanoclusters have gained a huge interest due to their unique properties. They represent an
intermediate state between an atom and a solid, which manifests itself in their atomic …

Binding energy shifts between atomic and solid phases for transition metals Cr, Mn, Fe, Co,
and Ni have been obtained for 3p subshells from simultaneously recorded atomic vapor and …
