Atomic clusters, consisting of a few to a few thousand atoms, have emerged over the past 40
years as the ultimate nanoparticles, whose structure and properties can be controlled one …

Clusters that contain only a small number of atoms can exhibit unique and often unexpected
properties. The clusters are of particular interest in catalysis because they can act as …

The nature of the intermolecular forces between water molecules is the same in small
hydrogen-bonded clusters as in the bulk. The rotational spectra of the clusters therefore give …

The structural properties of free nanoclusters are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the
interplay of energetic, thermodynamic, and kinetic factors in the explanation of cluster …

A cluster is an aggregate of bound atoms or molecules, intermediate in size between a
molecule and a bulk solid. Clusters of a variety of molecules are receiving increasing …

A new family of magic cluster structures is found by genetic global optimization, whose
results are confirmed by density functional calculations. These clusters are Ag-Ni and Ag-Cu …

A genetic algorithm approach is applied to the optimization of the potential energy of a wide
range of binary metallic nanoclusters, Ag–Cu, Ag–Ni, Au–Cu, Ag–Pd, Ag–Au, and Pd–Pt …

The interactions of pure (Au k, Ag k, and Cu k; k= 1− 3) and binary alloy (Au n Ag m and Au n
Cu m; m+ n= k≤ 3) metal clusters with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been investigated by …

A sustainable future demands innovative breakthroughs in science and technology today,
especially in the energy sector. Earth‐abundant resources can be explored and used to …

A family of high-symmetry bimetallic clusters—recently shown to give rise to “magic”
structures in the case of Ag-Cu and Ag-Ni nanoclusters—is investigated also in the case of …
