This review provides a comprehensive overview of the applications of helium nanodroplets
in the study of ensembles of atoms and molecules, ie clusters and complexes. These …

We review the solvation of atomic, molecular or cluster ions in HNDs. After briefly discussing
the properties of snowballs in bulk helium we consider experimental conditions for the …

Atomic clusters are aggregates of atoms containing a few to several thousand atoms. Due to
the small size of these pieces of matter, the properties of atomic clusters in general are …

Helium adsorbed on C 60+ and C 70+ exhibits phenomena akin to helium on graphite. Mass
spectra suggest that commensurate layers form when all carbon hexagons and pentagons …

Helium atoms bind strongly to alkali cations which, when embedded in liquid helium, form so‐
called snowballs. Calculations suggest that helium atoms in the first solvation layer of these …

Helium droplets are doped with fullerenes (either C 60 or C 70) and hydrogen (H 2 or D 2)
and investigated by high-resolution mass spectrometry. In addition to pure helium and …

The static electric dipole polarizabilities of sodium clusters Na n for a series of sizes in the
range 7<~ n<~ 93 were measured by electric field deflection of a supersonic cluster beam …

Experimental mass abundance spectra are used to extract evaporative activation energies
(dissociation energies) for protonated water clusters,(H 2 O) N H+⁠, and deprotonated water …

The geometric structures and reaction dynamics of clusters of carbon fullerene molecules
are reviewed. The topics on structure cover the elementary building blocks, the interatomic …

Predicted almost forty years ago, the radiation from thermally populated excited electronic
states has recently been recognised as an important cooling mechanism in free molecules …
