The discovery of carbon fullerene cages and their solids opened a new avenue to build
materials from stable cage clusters as “artificial atoms” or “superatoms” instead of atoms …

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 …

Bimetallic clusters have attracted much attention because of the structural and property
changes that occur: cluster size and doping. Here, we performed a structural search of the …

The TM-doped Si-based semiconductor clusters have aroused increased attention in a lot of
fields. Here, we have performed a structural search of the global minimum for neutral and …

We use cryogenic ion vibrational spectroscopy to characterize the structure and fluxionality
of the magic number boron cluster B13+. The infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectrum of …

Our studies show that VSi12− adopts a V-centered hexagonal prism with a singlet spin state.
The addition of the second V atom leads to a capped hexagonal antiprism for V2Si12− in a …

Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy is commonly used to determine the
structure of isolated, mass‐selected ions in the gas phase. This method has been widely …

We investigated the structural evolution and electronic properties of medium-sized silicon
cluster anions doped with two transition metal atoms, TM2Sin−(TM= V, Cr; n= 14–20), by …

We present a systematic study of the structures and electronic properties of vanadium-doped
silicon cluster anions, VSin−(n= 14–20), by combining photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) …

Conspectus Nanoclusters, aggregates of several to hundreds of atoms, have been one of
the central issues of nanomaterials sciences owing to their unique structures and properties …
