During the last decade, density function theory (DFT) in its static and dynamic time
dependent forms, has emerged as a powerful tool to describe the structure and dynamics of …

Solvation is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the natural sciences. At the macroscopic level, it is
well understood through thermodynamics and chemical reaction kinetics,. At the atomic …

Helium has a unique phase diagram and below 25 bar it does not form a solid even at the
lowest temperatures. Electrostriction leads to the formation of a solid layer of helium around …

This book is devoted to the description of Bosonic and Fermionic systems: metallic clusters;
quantum dots, wires, rings and molecules; trapped Fermi and Bose atoms; liquid drops of …

The very recent development of highly selective techniques making possible the synthesis
and experimental characterization of subnanometric (subnanometer-sized) metal clusters …

We have studied spinning superfluid He 4 nanodroplets at zero temperature using density
functional theory. Due to the irrotational character of the superfluid flow, the shapes of the …

We present a computational study, based on time-dependent Density Functional theory, of
the real-time interaction and trapping of Ar and Xe atoms in superfluid 4He nanodroplets …

We study the quantum nuclear motion of N 4He atoms or N N2 molecules (N< 4) confined in
carbon nanotubes using an ad hoc-developed nuclear wave function-based approach …

The observation of chemical reactions on the time scale of the motion of electrons and nuclei
has been made possible by lasers with ever shortened pulse lengths. Superfluid helium …

The real-time dynamics of excited alkali metal atoms (Rb) attached to quantum fluid He
nanodroplets is investigated using femtosecond imaging spectroscopy and time-dependent …
