Metal, metal oxide, and metal chalcogenide materials have a wide variety of applications.
For example, many metal clusters and nanoparticles are used as catalysts for reactions …

Recent developments allow heat capacities to be measured for size-selected clusters
isolated in the gas phase. For clusters with tens to hundreds of atoms, the heat capacities …

Metal nanoparticles have been widely used as functional materials in physics, chemistry,
and biology. Understanding their unique thermodynamic properties is essential both for …

Putative global minima of neutral (Al n) and singly charged (⁠ Al n+ and Al n−⁠) aluminum
clusters with n= 13–34 have been located from first-principles density functional theory …

Nanoclusters in the gas phase grow by condensation and coagulation, which heat up
nanoclusters, creating thermal non-equilibrium with the surrounding gas. The extent of non …

Photoelectron spectra of cold aluminum cluster anions Al n− have been measured in the
size range n= 13–75 and are compared to the results of density functional theory …

We calculate the surface energy, surface stress, and lattice contraction of Al nanoparticles
using ab initio density functional and empirical computational techniques. Ab initio …

Caloric curves for sodium clusters with N= 139 and 147 atoms show a fine structure near the
solid-to-liquid transition. Neither of the two sizes exhibit surface melting. For N= 139 …

Nanoclusters can form and grow by nanocluster-monomer collisions (condensation) and
nanocluster-nanocluster collisions (coagulation). During growth, product nanoclusters have …
