The current paper presents a state-of-the-art review in the field of interaction of atomic and
molecular clusters with solids. We do not attempt to overview the entire broad field, but …

Atomic and molecular clusters can be considered to be a distinct form of matter, a “bridge”
between atoms on the one hand and solids on the other. Interest in clusters comes from …

The functionalization of graphene and (8, 0) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)
with individual 3d transition metal (TM) atoms was modeled using density functional theory …

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

We report the ability to control the atomic structure of nanoclusters by systematically varying
the gas-phase formation parameters during the generation of size-selected Au923. From …

X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) is commonly used to probe the oxidation
state of metal-containing nanomaterials; however, as the particle size in the material drops …

The formation of atomic nanoclusters on suspended graphene sheets has been investigated
by employing a molecular dynamics simulation at finite temperature. Our systematic study is …

We employ a multiscale theoretical method, which combines the first-principle calculation
and a grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation, to predict the adsorption capacity of …

Nanoparticles (NPs) of different types, especially those of metals and metal oxides, are
widely used in research and industry for a variety of applications utilising their unique …

Stable configurations, electronic structures, and magnetic behaviors for Cu single atom and
dimer adsorption on graphene have been investigated by first-principles calculations, using …
