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 …

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 …

We investigated the structural and energetic properties of nanoclusters and nanoalloys
composed of group 13 elements (B, Al, and Ga) up to a cluster size of 12. We conducted a …

The thermodynamic behaviour of clusters and nanoscale structures is both a challenge to
the statistical basis of the theory, and of paramount importance to experiment. In this review …

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 …

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

Using fixed node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (FN-DMC) simulations and density
functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximations, we calculate the …

Cross sections for chemisorption of N2 onto Al44+/− cluster ions have been measured as a
function of relative kinetic energy and the temperature of the metal cluster. There is a kinetic …

Heat capacities have been measured as a function of temperature for size-selected gallium
cluster cations with between 60 and 183 atoms. Almost all clusters studied show a single …

Deep neural network-based deep potentials (DP), developed by Tuo et al., have been used
to compute the thermodynamic properties of free aluminum clusters with accuracy close to …
