    Notes: Abstract Monte-Carlo calculations have been performed for positively charged argon clusters in the temperature range between 10 K and 40 K using two different models (one with a dimer ion core, the other one with a trimer ion). The argon-argon interaction potential stems from empirical data, the ion-neutral atoms potential is determined by ab initio MRD-CI calculations. Special stability is found for clusters sizesn=13, 19, 23 and 25/26 atoms using the ‘trimeric core model’ and for those withn=14,n=17,n=20 using the ‘dimeric core model’. The geometrical structure of the clusters is given and the construction principles are discussed in light of the interactions among neutral argon atoms and the ion-neutral atoms interaction.

    Notes: Abstract We present a study of the stability of clusters models made of a numberN of atoms in the range 500 to 6000 atoms, freely interacting through the Lennard-Jones potential. The potential energy per atom, calculated for relaxed models, shows that stable models belong to an icosahedral sequence whenN〈1600 and to a decahedral sequence beyond. A coexistence size range of both structures is discussed in connection with experimental results on argon clusters in free jet expansions.

    Notes: Abstract Low energy ion beam techniques have been used to perform a detailed study of the reactions of Al 25 + and Si 25 + with a range of simple molecules (D2, CH4, O2, C2H4, CO and N2). The reactions were studied over a center of mass collision energy range from 0.2eV up to 7eV. Activation barriers for chemisorption onto the clusters were deduced from the experimental results. The activation barriers for chemisorption on Al 25 + and Si 25 + are generally similar and show a qualitative correlation with the electronic properties of the reactant molecule. However, the products of the chemical reactions of Al 25 + and Si 25 + which result from cluster fragmentation are quite different. Si 25 + shows a tendency to undergo fission as observed in a number of recent studies of the dissociation of the bare clusters.

    Notes: Abstract The structures of Ag, Fe and Ge microclusters were determined using EXAFS. The measurements were performed over a wide range of clusters sizes. The clusters were prepared using the gas aggregation technique and isolated in solid argon at 4.2 K. The measurements were performed at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at beam line X-18B. A strong contraction of the interatomic distances was observed for Ag dimers and multimers. Silver clusters larger than 12 A mean diameter show a small contraction of thenn distance and a structure consistent with an fcc lattice. By contrast clusters smaller than 12 A show the presence of a small expansion and a strong reduction or absence ofnnn in the EXAFS signal. This points towards a different crystallographic structure for Ag microclusters with diameter less than 12 A. In iron clusters we observe a gradual reduction of thenn distance as the cluster size decreases. The interatomic distance for iron dimers was determined to be 1.94 A, in good agreement with earlier measurements. The iron microclusters show a bcc structure down to a mean diameter of 9 A. Iron clusters with 9 A mean diameter show a structure inconsistent with a bcc lattice. The new structure is consistent with an fcc or hcp lattice. The measurements on Ge clusters show the presence of only nearest neighbors. There was clear evidence of temporal annealing as determined by variations in the near edge structure of the K-absorption edge. Absorption edge measurements were also performed for free Ge clusters travelling perpendicular to the direction of the synchrotron radiation beam. The measurements performed on the free clusters were consistent with those obtained for matrix isolated clusters.

    Ionization dynamics of van-der-Waals clusters (1989)

    Notes: Abstract The ionization process of homogeneous and heterogeneous van-der-Waals clusters has been investigated using various ionization methods (electron bombardment, charge exchange, photoionization methods), and different analyzing techniques. Direct and indirect ionization processes can be distinguished in the experiments from the shape of the ionization curve which depends on the type of cluster. These features appear differently in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems: Homogeneous systems exhibit characteristic ionization efficiency curves where the direct ionization path appears as a sudden increase in the ionization efficiency while the indirect transition gives rise to a long drawn out tail extending to the true ionization threshold. In heterogeneous clusters the indirect ionization path proceeds via excited states of the component with the larger ionization potential and subsequent energy transfer to the other component. These transitions are shifted and broadened depending on the type of internal interaction. Conclusions are drawn concerning the geometry and the interaction potential inside the cluster. The resolution of the TEPICO (Threshold Electron Photo Ion Coincidence) experiments makes it possible to determine the kinetic energy release of the fragments. It is shown that the results are related to the stabilities of the cluster ions involved in the fragmentation chain. Results are presented for pure rare gas clusters (Ar n , Kr n , Xe n ) and for mixed systems (Ar n O2m , Ar n Xe, Kr n Xe, (CH4) n Ne).

    Notes: Abstract N2 cluster ions are produced by electron impact ionization of a supersonic N2 cluster beam and analyzed with a double focussing sector field mass spectrometer. It is found that metastable N2 cluster ions lose more than one N2 molecule in the μs time regime and decay predominantly via sequential series (N2) n + *→(N2) n−1 + *→...→N 2 + , evaporating a single monomer in each of these successive decay steps. The metastable decay rates determined in detail for cluster sizes 2≤n≤6 andn=20 lie between 1 and 106s−1. These rates(i) depend strongly on the time elapsed after ion formation and on the respective parent cluster ion size, and(ii) exhibit a quasiperiodic pattern in magnitude.

    Notes: Abstract (CO2) n , (NO) n and (NH3) n clusters are generated in a supersonic molecular beam and size selected by scattering from an He beam. By measurements of angular dependent mass spectra, TOF distributions and the angular dependence of the scattered signal quantitative information on the fragmentation probability by electron impact is derived. The van der Waals systems (CO2) n and (NO) n appear only at masses which are simply multiples of the monomer mass. The preferred cluster ion is the monomer ion for all investigated cluster sizes withn=2 to 4. The fragment pattern for the quasi-hydrogen bonded (NH3) n -cluster shows, beside a large number of fragment masses, a preference for protonated ions. The results are explained in terms of simple models based on the structural change from the neutral to the ionized configuration and the fragmentation pattern of the monomer followed by ionmolecule reactions.

Results are presented for the unimolecular loss of a monomer from clusters (C6H6) 8 + to (C6H6) 12 + and for the reaction C6H 6 + →C4H 4 + +C2H2. We also observe a significant amount of probably collision induced fragmentation processes (C6H6) n + →(C6H6) n−x + + (C6H6) x withx much larger than 1.

    Notes: Abstract Photoemission spectra of valence electrons in metal clusters, together with threshold ionization potential measurements, provide a coherent picture of the development of the electronic structure from the isolated atom to the large metallic cluster. An insulator-metal transition occurs at an intermediate cluster size, which serves to define the boundary between small and large clusters. Although the outer electrons may be delocalized over the entire cluster, a small cluster remains insulating until the density of states near the Fermi level exceeds 1/kT. In large clusters, with increasing cluster size, the band structure approaches that of the bulk metal. However, the bands remain significantly narrowed even in a 1000-atom cluster, giving an indication of the importance of long-range order. The core-electron binding-energy shifts of supported metal clusters depend on changes in the band structure in the initial state, as well as on various final-state effects, including changes in core hole screening and the coulomb energy of the final-state charge. For cluster supported on amorphous carbon, this macroscopic coulomb shift is often dominant, as evidenced by the parallel shifts of the core-electron binding energy and the Fermi edge. Auger data confirm that final-state effects dominate in cluster of Sn and some other metals. Surface atom core-level shifts provide a valuable guide to the contributions of initial-state changes in band structure to cluster core-electron binding energy shifts, especially for Au and Pt. The available data indicate that the shift observed in supported, metallic clusters arise largely from the charge left on the cluster by photoemission. As the metal-insulator transition is approached from above, metallic screening is suppressed and the shift is determined by the local environment.

    Notes: Abstract The electronic (UV-visible) spectrum of the molecular cluster Au55(PPh3)12Cl6 shows features corresponding to the 520 nm plasma resonance and the shorter-wavelength interband transition of colloidal gold. These absorptions differ qualitatively from the simpler one-electron transitions of lower-nuclearity cluster molecules. Differential scanning calorimetry has been used to measure the enthalpy of decomposition of Au55(PPh3)12Cl6. The Au-Au bonding appears to be substantially stronger than in bulk gold.

    Notes: Abstract Recent studies of the reactions of free or isolated transition metal clusters with simple molecules will be reviewed. Cluster chemical reactions are carried out in a laser-vaporization cluster source coupled to a continuous-flow reactor. Reactions can be categorized as chemisorptive (or surface) reactions, and bulk reactions. Chemisorptive reactions can be characterized asfacile, in which most cluster sizes of a given metal are equally reactive towards a particular reagent, oractivated, in which strong dependence of reactivity on cluster size is found. Under the normal operating conditions of the cluster reactor, a reaction may be kinetically controlled or at equilibrium. Following chemisorption, adsorbate decomposition and product desorption may occur. Specific reactions to be discussed include the reactions of iron clusters with ammonia and with water and the reactions of nickel clusters with ammonia.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of chlorine on the properties of Rh particles supported on alumina was studied using the hydroconversion of alkanes as a molecular probe. Chloride ions on the alumina have little influence on the Rh particles. Chlorine adsorbed on the Rh particles decreases the chemisorption capacity and increases the metal-support interaction, which results in modifications of their catalytic properties. Depending on the alkane processed, specific activity can be depressed up to four orders of magnitude.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this work is to contribute to an explanation of thelowering of the specific activity of Pd/Al2O3 catalysts, towards hydrogenation of acetylenic molecules,as the dispersion increases. For this purpose, the interaction energy between these catalysts and H2, CO, propylene and propyne was directly measured by adsorption microcalorimetry at 323 K. In the case of propyne, the enthalpy of adsorption was found to be more than 50% higher for the catalysts with 97% dispersion than for the one with 26% dispersion, for coverages ranging from 0.2 to 0.7.This high enthalpy of adsorption (up to 290 kJ.mol−1) is attributed to a different proportion of edges and crystalline planes in the smallest Pd crystallites and is indeed consistent with a “blocking”chemisorption or with a hindered desorption of the products of a catalytic hydrogenation, i.e. with a lowering of the specific activity.

    Notes: Abstract In this study we present theoretical X-ray absorption near-edge spectra (XANES) evaluated for Fe2, Ni2, and Ni3 using a modified multiple-scattered wave procedure. The calculations were performed for different internuclear distances of the dimers and by varying the geometry from linear to equilateral triangular for Ni3. The calculated absorption spectra for both Fe2 and Ni2 predict a broad resonant structure at the threshold and weak 1s transitions to unoccupied valence orbitals −5→0 eV giving a shoulder at the threshold. The resonance structure at the threshold of Ni3 appeared to be sensitive to the geometry of the clusters.

    Notes: Abstract The atomic structure and thermodynamic properties of transition-metal clusters containingN atoms are investigated forN=6 and 7 using the method of molecular dynamics, where Gupta's potential taking into account many-body interaction is employed. The caloric curve (total energy — temperature curve) and the structural fluctuations are studied. The “fluctuating state” is found forN=6 in the region of the temperature near below the melting point, where clusters undergo structural transition from one isomer to others without making any topological change. The fluctuating state differs from the coexistence state in that the former involves no atomic diffusion, and goes to a structural phase transition of the bulk whenN is increased. On the other hand, the motion of atom-permutation is found in the low-temperature region of the liquid state, being induced by the cooperative motion of two atoms. It is discussed that such a motion easily occurs along the surface and may be considered to be one of the characteristics of small clusters. The fluctuating state is discussed in relation to the structural fluctuation of gold clusters observed experimentally.

    Notes: Abstract The fluence dependence of lead cluster ion distributions at 222 nm and 308 nm reveal markedly different behavior. Results obtained at 308 nm display a simple uniform increase in intensity with higher laser fluence with little change in relative intensities. At 222 nm, however, a significant transformation is found from a markedly different low fluence distribution to a high fluence pattern, which is essentially indistinguishable from that observed at 308 nm. It is concluded that mass spectra obtained at 308 nm, regardless of fluence, or at 222 nm and high fluence contain appreciable contributions from fragmentation. Hence, under these conditions the mass spectra are found to be dominated by cluster ion stabilities. Magic numbers observed at both high and low fluence correspond well to those obtained using electron-impact ionization, and in many instances parallel the magic numbers characteristic of rare-gas clusters. This suggests the stabilities of both neutral and monovalent cationic lead clusters are largely determined by close-packing considerations, and are not appreciably influenced by electronic structure. Similar preferences for close-packed structures are also found for mixed lead-antimony clusters containing one or two antimony atoms that are ionized using high fluence 308 nm excitation.

    Notes: Abstract The Density Functional Formalism is used to calculate the minimum number of atoms (N c ) a multiply charged jellium-like spherical cluster must contain to be stable against coulomb explosion into two smaller fragments. In the case of alkaline clusters, which are systems for which the jellium model can be applied, we findN c equal to 31 and 23 for the explosion of Na N 2+ and Cs N 2+ respectively, in good agreement with the experimental value ofN c = 18 for Cs N 2+ . Calculated critical numbers for triply and tetracharged Cs clusters are 108 and 323 respectively. In addition the model predicts that the most favourable fragmentation channel is the ejection of a singly charged monomer.

    Notes: Abstract A spherical average pseudopotential method (SAPS) is used to investigate some properties of compound alkali clusters. The effect that the substitution of a Sodium atom by a Lithium atom in a Na n cluster has on the stabilities and geometries is studied forn≤21. We have found that substitution is always energetically possible. On the other hand equiatomic Na n Cs n clusters are considered in the size rangen≤16. We find a strong segregation effect of the Cesium atoms towards the cluster surface. This agrees with what happens in liquid Na x Cs1−x alloys.

    Notes: Abstract Metastable decay of cluster ions has been discovered only recently. It was noted that one has to take this metastable decay into account when using mass spectrometry to probe neutral clusters, because ion abundance anomalies in mass spectra of rare gas and molecular clusters are caused by delayed metastable evaporation of monomers following ion production. Moreover, it was found that(i) the individual metastable reaction rates k depend strongly on cluster size and cluster ion production pathways and that(ii) there exists experimental evidence (k=k(t)) and a theoretical prediction that a given mass selected cluster ion generated by electron impact ionization of a nozzle expansion beam will comprise a range of metastable decay rates. In addition, it was discovered that metastable Ar cluster ions which lose two monomers in the μs time regime decay via sequential decay series Ar n + *→Ar n−1 + *→Ar n−2 + * with cluster sizes 7≤n≤10 andn=3 (similar results were obtained recently in case of N2 cluster ions). Conversely, the dominant metastable decay channel of Ar 4 + * into Ar 2 + was found to proceed predominantly via a single step fissioning process.

    Notes: Abstract Clusters of Ar, Kr, Xe, N2, O2, CO2, SO2 and NH3 formed by supersonic nozzle expansion have been studied by electron impact ionization mass spectrometry (up to 15000 amu). Besides mass spectra of singly charged ions showing the characteristic anomalous distributions, we have in particular investigated the properties of multiply charged cluster ions. Critical appearance sizes of doubly and triply charged cluster ions, n2 and n3 respectively, found in the present study confirm recent theoretical predictions about n3/n2 and their dependence on the properties of the cluster constituents. The appearance energies of multiply charged cluster ions determined are shifted way below the appearance energies of the respective monomer ions. These huge red shifts together with the observed linear threshold laws and large maximum ionization efficiencies indicate that multiply charged cluster ions are produced by sequential single ionization events of one incoming electron at different cluster sites. Furthermore, we have also obtained for the first time clear evidence that (for electron energies above the appearance energy of doubly charged ions) an appreciable amount of singly charged (also fragment) ions is produced via Coulomb explosion of unstable doubly charged ions in the ion source.

    Notes: Abstract The atomic structure and thermodynamic properties of transition-metal 6- and 7-atom clusters are investigated using the molecular dynamics method, where Gupta's potential taking into account many-body interaction is employed. The caloric and the structural fluctuations are studied. The “fluctuating state” is found forN=6 in the region of the temperature near and below the melting point, where clusters undergo structural transition from one isomer to others without making any topological change. The fluctuating state differs from the “coexistence state” found in Ar clusters [1] i.e. the former involves no liquid state. In the liquid state the motion of atom-permutation occurs besides the breathing motion. On the other hand, the fluctuating state is not found forN=7 but only the motion of atom-permutation in the liquid state. The coexistence state is found in both cases of 6- and 7-atom clusters. We also discuss a possibility of larger clusters displaying the fluctuating state.

    Notes: Abstract The spherical jellium model and self-consistent Weighted Density Approximation (WDA) to density functional theory have been used to study the stability of X N n (n=−1, 0, +1, +2; X=Ag, Cu;N≤25) clusters. The calculated magic numbers coincide with the observed ones. The first (IP1) and second (IP2) ionization potentials of Ag N and Cu N as a function of size show the typical oscillations induced by the electronic shell-filling effect. IP1 of Cu N is about 0.5 eV higher than IP1 of Ag N in the range studied (N≤25). For both Cu N and Ag N , IP1 appears to converge well towards the respective experimental values of the work function. The use of WDA allows us to obtain bound negative clusters of small size or with a nearly empty external shell, which is not possible using the Local Density Approximation (LDA) [1, 2]. However the electron affinity of X N clusters obtained as the difference of energies of the neutral and the negatively charged clusters, becomes negative forN=2, 3 and 8 (very close to zero forN=8), revealing that WDA needs further refinements.

    Notes: Abstract Analysis of ab initio wave functions shows that the interaction between halogen atoms (F, Cl, and Br) and Ag clusters is ionic, and that the halogen ionicity is essentially −1. The interaction and the bonding arise, almost entirely, from the Coulomb attraction between the charged halogen and the metal and from polarization of the two subunits. Large shifts in equilibrium bond distances and vibrational energies are caused by an external electric field. These changes arise from a dominant Stark effect.

    Notes: Abstract The results of a detailed study of the primary and secondary reactions of carbon cluster ions, C n + (3≤n≤20), with HCN are presented and discussed. The experiments were performed in a Fourier transform (ICR) mass spectrometer, using direct laser vaporization of graphite to form the carbon cluster ions. Evidence for two structural forms of then=7, 8 and 9 cluster ions is obtained from their differing reactivity with HCN. The C 7 + ion is anomalous in its behavior in many respects, which is interpreted by an isomerization mechanism. The HCN reactions offer a contrast to the reactions with nonpolar neutrals studied previously. All HCN reactions produced ions of the type CnX+ (primary product) or CnXY+ (secondary product) where X, Y=H, CN or HCN. Fragmentation of the original carbon cluster was not observed, while radiative association is an important reaction channel. Low-energy collision-induced dissociation studies of the product ions support the mechanism of insertion into the H-CN bond and formation of covalent bonds at the carbene site for the primary reactions. In most secondary reactions however, the HCN associates weakly with the ion, rather than binding covalently.

Measurements performed at a variety of different expansion conditions (nozzle temperature and stagnation pressure) demonstrate that fragmentation of larger clusters contributes substantially to the shape of the TPEPICO spectra even for the smallest clusters and at all photon energies higher than about 200 meV to 400 meV above the ionisation threshold. The determination of ionisation potentials for these cluster ions is discussed and careful estimates are given and compared with recent theoretical values.

Ion intensity as a function of cluster size showed distinct steps and local maxima atn=3, 5, 11, 13 and 19 (magic numbers), and a pronounced odd-even alternation. The features in the ion abundance curve are attributed to the relative stability of cluster ions. The observed magic numbers are only partially explained by the electronic shell model, indicating need to include a consideration of atomic structure in a cluster.

    Notes: Abstract The core-valence correlation potential has been derived for Na and K employing atomic calculations which make use of the density functional formula worked out by Lee, Yang and Parr based on Colle-Salvetti approach. The numerical potential is fitted with a small number of Gaussians leading to a very simple expression for an one-electron corevalence correlation operatorŴ cv . The core-valence correlation corrections can be computed by applyingŴ cv on a quite general class of wavefunctions. Applications of theŴ cv operator within the framework of valence-electron-only calculations using effective Hamiltonians are presented for Na and K atoms, for Na2, K2, NaK and their cations. Almost all the corrections calculated for the physical properties due to the core-valence correlation lead to results which are in good agreement with those obtained from much more sophisticated treatments and experimental data.

    Notes: Abstract Pulse radiolysis and time-resolved optical spectroscopy were used to observe the earliest steps of silver aggregation in the presence of an electron donor whose electrochemical potential is close to those of usual photographic developers. A critical size has to be reached by the silver aggregate before it is thermodynamically able to accept electrons from the donor, then to grow by an autocatalytic process with alternate adsorption of Ag+ ions and electron scavenging. From a computer simulation the critical aggregation numbern c is found to be 4 and hence the electrochemical potential of the critical aggregate is ≈−0.4 V/NHE. The size-dependence of the electrochemical potential in an aqueous solution is discussed and compared with that of the ionization potential in the gas phase. A tentative extrapolation of the present interpretation to the mechanism of the photographic development is proposed.

    Notes: Abstract A detailed study of the stability of alkali-atom clusters is presented and discussed. Free clusters are produced in an unseeded adiabatic expansion and ionized by a pulsed laser beam. A tandem time-of-flight system provides a size selection of ionized species and mass spectrometry of fragments. We have investigated for sodium and potassium clusters containing up to fifty atoms: the metastable decay following ionization, the photo-induced dissociation, the collisional induced dissociation and the collisional charge exchange. Experimental evidence is shown for dissociative process involving evaporation of monomers and dimers. This is explained by the statistical unimolecular theory and by the energetics of the systems.

    Notes: Abstract We have studied several decay processes of potassium clusters and found that a dimer-decay mechanism can explain the observed lowest abundance of K10 in the K n mass spectra. Total-energy curves for decay processes are calculated using a jellium-background model for positive-ion cores and the local-spin-density-functional approximation for valence electrons. The energy-barrier height for a dimer decay of K10 from the energy-minimum point is found to be 0.18 eV, which is a reasonable magnitude for the decay to take place thermally in the experiment. The monomer decay of K9 and the dimer decay of K11, which are expected to be the most favorable decays of K9 and K11, are found to have high barriers. Monomer and dimer decays of K8 are also studied and the monomer decay is found to be more favorable, in accord with the high-nozzle-temperature mass spectrum.

    Notes: Abstract We analyse the role of the fragmentation processes in the liquid metal ion source technique from a theoretical and an experimental point of view. We show that the “double peak” structure of the energy distribution of Sn 7 + ions is due to the fact that there are two kinds of ions. On the one hand, ions which are directly emitted from the tip; on the other hand, ions produced by fragmentation at some distance (100–1000 Å) from the tip. We show that the existence of a peak for the second kind of ions strongly depends on the electric field mapping. We also deduce from the energy separation of the two peaks a life-time of the mother particles. The value obtained is compared to an evaluation made with the RRKM theory. The charge and mass of the mother particles are also discussed.

    Notes: Abstract We propose the “triangle contraction” as an important reconstruction mechanism of six-membered-ring silicon clusters on the basis of the force and virial analysis for Si6, Si10, Si14, Si18, Si22, and Si26 clusters. Forces acting on atoms have been calculated using the local-density-functional scheme with linear-combination-of-atomic-orbitals-Xα method. Calculated forces show that most of the (111)-surface equilateral triangles have tendency to contract, indicating the generality of the triangle-contraction mechanism.

    Notes: Abstract Energy barriers between low-lying configurational states were calculated for several small Al clusters. Calculations were carried out considering a model potential comprising two- and three-body interactions. Parameters used in this potential energy function were evaluated from fits to high level ab initio calculations for Al clusters. Energy barriers separating low-lying configurations were found to be in varying heights. Results indicate that isomeric transformations between several low-lying high-symmetry forms of small Al clusters are quite likely and may take place at relatively low temperatures.

    Notes: Abstract A theory is proposed for modeling the autoassociation of alcohol molecules either in the neat liquid or in inert (non-complexing) solvents. This autoassociation by hydrogen bonds takes the form of clusters which can be predominantly open or cyclized chains, depending on the concentration. Chain conformation statistics are used for calculating the dipole moment of each type of chain. Cyclization equilibrium theory is employed for obtaining formulae for the fraction of all types of clusters. The total Kirkwood angular correlation factorg is calculated in function of the concentration. For this only two parameters are used; the first one is a common equilibrium constant for H bond dissociation; the second one is closely linked to the stiffness of the chains. A numerical illustration is presented for the case of normal hexanol in various aliphatic solvents, for which several dielectric data exist in the literature.

    Notes: Abstract Optimized molecular geometries and electronic structures are determined for neutral, positively charged, and negatively charged carbon and silicon clusters containing up to ten atoms. The effects of polarization functions and electron correlation are included in these claculations. Carbon clusters have linear or monocyclic ground state geometries whereas silicon clusters containing five or more atoms have three-dimensional ground state structures. Neutral C4, C6 and C8 all have linear and monocyclic isomers of comparable stability whereas the ionic forms appear to be generally more stable as linear geometrical arrangements. In the case of neutral and positively charged carbon clusters, the odd-numbered clusters are significantly more stable than the adjacent even-numbered clusters whereas the opposite order of stability occurs for the negative ions. This is due to the large values of the electron affinities of the linear forms of even-numbered clusters such as C4 and C6. The relative stabilities of silicon clusters does not change with the charge state of the clusters.

    Notes: Abstract It is widely believed that the lowest energy configurations for small rare gas clusters have icosahedral symmetry. This contrasts with the bulk crystal structures which have cuboctahedral fcc symmetry. It is of interest to understand the transition between this finite and bulk behavior. To model this transition in rare gas clusters we have undertaken optimization studies within the Lennard-Jones pair potential model. Using a combination of Monte Carlo and Partan Search optimization methods, the lowest energy relaxed structures of Lennard-Jones clusters having icosahedral and cuboctahedral symmetry were found. Studies were performed for complete shell clusters ranging in size from one shell having 13 atoms to 14 shells having 10,179 atoms. It was found that the icosahedral structures are lower in energy than the cuboctahedral structures for cluster sizes having 13 shells or fewer. Additional studies were performed using the more accurate Aziz-Chen [HFD-C] pair potential parameterized for argon. The conclusions appear to be relatively insensitive to the form of the potential.

    Notes: Abstract Compact and tetravalent clusters with icosahedral local or global symmetries are generated by mapping from ideal structures in curved space onto a tangent euclidean 3D space. The observed elastic energy of the clusters can thus be interpreted as an intrinsic curvature associated to a frustrated local order. It is then proposed a kind of classification of the very rich family of possible clusters using a limited set of parameters.

    Notes: Abstract A new apparatus for depositing intense beams of neutral, mass selected metal clusters in rare gas matrices or on a solid surface has been constructed. Metal cluster cations, produced by Ar+ sputtering, may be energy analyzed and then mass selected in a quadrupole mass filter. The clusters are neutralized by low energy electrons and then co-deposited with a rare gas on a 4 K sapphire window. Matrix samples were interrogated in situ by UV-optical absorption spectroscopy. Good quality neutral Ag spectra were obtained following a 30 min. Kr deposition of a ca. 2.5 nA cm−2 beam of Ag+. Line strength measurements imply matrices containing about 1013 atoms cm−2, corresponding to a neutralization efficiency of about 50%. Preliminary experiments on Ag 2 + yielded only Ag spectra, but with a lesser yield, perhaps indicative of incomplete fragmentation.

    Notes: Abstract SF6 clusters are produced during the free jet expansion of a Ne-SF6 mixture and studied by electron diffraction methods. Present experiments have been performed at constant nozzle diameter, stagnation pressure and stagnation temperature, adjustable parameters being the SF6 mole fraction X and the nozzle-to-skimmer distancex s /d. It is possible to warm up SF6 clusters by increasing either X, and thus the cluster size, orx s /d, which makes them collide with background molecules downstream of the Mach disk. In both cases, cold clusters made of several hundreds of molecules experience a structural transition, similar to that observed in bulk material, from the triclinic to the bcc plastic structure. A molecular dynamics simulation accounts correctly for intermediate stages of the transition which are visible in experimental patterns. Contrary to bulk results, cluster results show that the structural transition occurs over some temperature range.

    Notes: Abstract The results of the systematic ab-initio CI investigation of neutral and charged Li n , Na n , BeLi k and MgNa k clusters are summarized and analyzed. The general characteristic features of the electronic structure are pointed out:a) The participation of the atomic orbitals, which are empty in Ia and IIa metal atoms, allows for a higher valency of these atoms in clusters.b) Jahn-Teller and pseudo-Jahn-Teller effects strongly influence the electronic and geometric structure of clusters.c) Deformations of cluster geometry can lead to biradicaloid structures with higher spin multiplicity in their ground states.d) The peculiarities of the electronic structures of clusters can be deduced from the presence of many “surface” atoms. The theoretical results agree with experimental data presently available and they are useful for interpretation of the experimental findings.

    Notes: Abstract The crucial importance of correlation effects versus delocalization, and their nature in small Alkali clusters is analysed from an ab-initio point of view through a detailed investigation of the Li2 dimer. The role of the external correlation (provided by extended basis sets and large Configuration Interaction calculations) is shown to lower the energy of ionic configurations and to increase their weight in the electronic wavefunction, increasing simultaneously the importance of delocalization versus internal correlation within thes-band. Effective interactions are determined from accurate diabatic calculations on dimers and transfered to clusters via an effective hamiltonian spanned bys orthogonal orbitals. Although not including explicitely thep-band, this model provides results in good agreement with abinitio calculations on Lithium clusters.

    Notes: Abstract Negative cluster ions M p C n − (M normal element,n〈10,p=1−4) produced by various experimental techniques from carbides show in their emission intensities a very strong even-odd effect according to the parity of the carbon atom numbern. This is in particular the case when M=N, F, Cl (p=1), M=H, Al, Si, S (p=1, 2) or M=B (p=1−4). The largest intensities of M p C n − ions always take place for evenn except in the cases of NC n − , B2C n − and Al2C n − , for which the maxima of emission occur for oddn. This oscillating behaviour corresponds to alternations in the stability of the clusters which are mainly due to the fact that, in Pitzer and Clementi model (linear chains in thesp hybridization within the framework of Hückel theory), the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) of the clusters lies in a double degenerateπ level band: a cluster with a complete HOMO is always more stable than a cluster with a nearly empty HOMO. This result involves that the total number ofπ electrons is the main factor governing the parity of the stability alternations. Accordingly, since the knowledge of theπ electron number requires the determination of theσ electron number too, these alternations enable us to infer a very likely electronic structure of the ions.

This study represents an observation of the transition between the atomic behaviour and the extended solid. The signal of clusters 〉15 Å as a function of temperatures shows that their susceptibility has a Curie-low behaviour. These results are contrary to the quantum size effects models of Kubo [1] and Mühlschlegel [2].

    Notes: Abstract A newly developed photoion-photoelectron Vacuum-UV coincidence spectrometer has been coupled to a supersonic metal atom cluster beam source and has been used to investigate the electronic structure of isolated mercury clusters in the size range from 1 to 110 at several selected discrete excitation energies between 11.3 and 7.1 eV. Excitation of the van der Waals cluster Hg10 at the center of the strongD 3/2-autoionization line at 10.7 eV yields a photoelectron kinetic energy distribution between 0 and 2.5 eV indicating the population of Hg10 ionic states, which are also accessible by threshold ionization.

    Notes: Abstract Unusually high ionization energies have been observed for Cs-O clusters having certain sizes and composition, namely for Cs2n+zOn with z=8, 18, 34, 58 and 92. The anomalies are well-defined for clusters containing from 1 to 7 oxygen atoms. The indicated values of z are identical to the number of electrons in closed shells of angular momentum.

    Notes: Abstract Metal cluster compounds are composed of large macromolecules, which consist of a metal core (cluster) containing a certain number (n=6–560) of metal atoms, to which core a shell of ligands is coordinated. They provide excellent model systems for an assembly of identical metal clusters, embedded in a dielectric matrix. We discuss a number of physical properties of these materials.

    Notes: Abstract The magnetic properties of molecular metal cluster compounds resemble those of small metal particles in the metametallic size regime. Even-electron metal carbonyl clusters with 10 or more metal atoms are paramagnetic, because their frontier orbital separations of less than 1 eV lead to high-spin electronic configurations. The rhodium cluster [Rh17S2(CO)32]3− gives EPR below 200 K withg=2.04, the first example of this type of paramagnetism in an even-electron carbonyl cluster of this 4d metal. Its spectral parameters are compared with those of osmium carbonyl clusters and some significant differences highlighted. Attempts have also been made to generate radical cations from lower-nuclearity, diamagnetic molecular clusters such as Rh6(CO)16 by chemical oxidation in sulphuric acid. An EPR active species (g=2.09) believed to be [Rh6(CO)16]+ has been obtained.

    Notes: Abstract Gold cluster compounds were investigated which contain clusters of 55 gold atoms in each unit. The ligands stabilize these clusters and, hence, many-cluster systems can be prepared which mainly show the properties of the single dressed cluster. Experimental results of optical and electron-microscopical investigations are presented and shortly discussed in view of the question whether the clusters are molecular or solid-state like.

    Notes: Abstract Ionization thresholds and electron affinities have been calculated within the Local Density Approximation (LDA) for the neutral, positively and negatively charged clusters of LaC60 and C60. The evaluated energies are found to be in good agreement with available experimental data. More accurate measurements are however necessary to verify the suggested spheroidal cage structure for these molecules.

    Notes: Abstract Semiempirical (INDO) and ab initio valence only calculations of the electronic structure of Ni n and Ni n (CO) m clusters support the idea that the bonding with the CO ligands destabilizes the 4s-like MOs of the Ni n fragment thus eliminating their contribution to the metal-metal bonding in the carbonylated form. This process is accompanied by a complete quenching of the magnetic moment of the bare cluster.

    Notes: Abstract Catalytic behaviour of nickel particles smaller than 1.3 nm, encaged in X and Y zeolites, in the presence of Ce3+, is related to their electronic properties. In general the rates of reaction are lower than those of a standard catalyst made of 2.5 nm nickel particles on SiO2; this is attributed to the strong localization of the Ni 3d states due to the size effect. However a high rate, more than twice the standard, is found for Ni in X zeolite, in relation with a Ni 3d 10 configuration. On the other hand the fragmentation of butane is deeper with Ni in Y support than in X support and this corresponds to a high density of Nid states at the Fermi level.

    Notes: Abstract A cluster beam experiment for fluorescence measurements on rare gas clusters has been built up. First results on the evolution of energy levels of neutral krypton clusters with a cluster size between 200–8500 atoms/cluster are reported. The well known bulk excitons of solid krypton do not merge into the first atomic lines and appear only in clusters larger than 300 atoms/cluster. Smaller clusters absorb only at energies which fit well with surface excitons of the solid.

    Notes: Abstract Size-selected positive ionic silver trimers and pentamers and nickel trimers have been codeposited, at low kinetic energy, with rare gas (Kr) onto a cold transparent surface. They have been neutralized onto the surface by electrons of few eV, with an efficiency of 80±20%. The optical absorption spectra of the resulting matrix-isolated neutral species have been recorded, with good sensitivity, in the UV-visible range. The evaporation of clusters, detected on the atom signal after deposition of Ni trimers of 20 eV, neutralized by electrons of 5 eV, is shown to be roughly 20%. This indicates that Ni3 clusters are present in the matrix but their number is actually too low to be optically detected.

In the second part, three recent, mainly optically and electron-microscopically performed investigations are discussed which deal with special properties of noble metal cluster systems forming the building units of this kind of matter:(1) dressed Au-55 clusters,(2) electromagnetic coupling effects among coagulated clusters,(3) the transition towards compact inhomogeneous matter caused by coalescence of clusters.

    Notes: Abstract The relative stabilities of eight-atom Si clusters were calculated with the semiempirical MO method SINDO1. With the aid of the group theoretical concept of kernels and epikernels, stationary points ofD 2d, C 2v andC s symmetry on the potential energy surface near the unstable cube were found. Apart from these stationary points which adopt epikernel symmetries, aD 4d stationary point not derivable from group theory is possible in configuration space. The cubic array with eight equivalent atoms can be classified as a diradical.
