A beam of Pb clusters is produced with the inert gas aggregation method and probed by electron diffraction. Analysis of the
diffraction patterns indicates that average cluster size can vary between 3 and 7 nm, according to nucleation conditions.
The diffraction patterns from beams with larger average cluster size are very similar to patterns calculated from model decahedron
clusters, while those for smaller cluster size do not appear to have simple geometrical face-centred cubic, decahedral, or
icosahedral structure.

Ni ions were implanted in bulk AlN with the goal to form embedded metallic clusters. Combining several characterisation techniques
such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy, we determined
the lattice parameter of the Ni clusters that display a fcc crystalline structure. The average size increases when the ion
fluence is increased or after a thermal treatment. Thanks to moiré fringes observed by high resolution transmission electron
microscopy and to satellite peaks seen on the diffraction patterns, we concluded that the annealed Ni clusters orientate their
(002) planes on the (101) of AlN. Moreover, the satellite positions allowed us to calculate Ni cluster average diameters,
that are in agreement with average sizes deduced by X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Cluster-cluster coalescence process of monodispersed Co clusters with mean diameter d = 8.5 and 13 nm deposited a plasma-gas-condensation-type cluster beam deposition system was investigated by in situ electrical conductivity measurements and ex situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and analyzed by percolation concept. The electrical
conductivity measurement and TEM observation indicated that, below temperature T≈ 100°C, the Co clusters in the assemblies maintain their original structure as deposited at room temperature, while that the inter-cluster
coalescence takes place at T > 100°C, although the size distribution and the interface morphology of the clusters showed no marked change at substrate temperatures
T
s≤200°C.

The interaction of large ammonia and water clusters in the size range from <n> = 10 to 3 400 with electrons is investigated in a reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The clusters are generated
in adiabatic expansions through conical nozzles and are nearly fragmentation free detected by single photon ionization after
they have been doped by one sodium atom. For ammonia also the (1+1) resonance enhanced two photon ionization through the state with v = 6 operates similarly. In this way reliable size distributions of the neutral clusters are obtained which are analyzed in
terms of a modified scaling law of the Hagena type [Surf. Sci. 106, 101 (1981)]. In contrast, using electron impact ionization, the clusters are strongly fragmented when varying the electron
energy between 150 and 1 500 eV. The number of evaporated molecules depends on the cluster size and the energy dependence
follows that of the stopping power of the solid material. Therefore we attribute the operating mechanism to that which is
also responsible for the electronic sputtering of solid matter. The yields, however, are orders of magnitude larger for clusters
than for the solid. This result is a consequence of the finite dimensions of the clusters which cannot accommodate the released
energy.

We present a new pump probe laser beams configuration for the nonlinear optical characterization of microemulsions. We detect
the variation of the on-axis optical intensity of the probe beam as generated by the concentration profile induced in an optically
thin film of microemulsion by the pump beam. A mathematical model has been introduced to describe the phenomenon. The technique
allows the determination of both Kerr-like optical nonlinearity and time constants and, therefore, it gives information both
on cluster dimension and their shape. We discuss its application to WAD (water/AOT/decane, where AOT denotes sodium-bis-di-ethyl-sulfosuccinate)
with the application of a strong electric field of optical source. Comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental
results confirms the presence of giant optical nonlinearity in the absence of turbidity divergence. Chainlike shape of clusters,
of the kind already reported with the application of strong electric field, could justify this result.

We have investigated the magnetic properties of mass-selected iron clusters using the Magneto-Optical Kerr effect (MOKE) in
longitudinal geometry. For the production of these clusters, a newly developed continuous arc cluster ion source (ACIS) was
applied. The source is based on cathodic arc erosion in inert gas environment and subsequent expansion into high vacuum. Its
intensity and stability allows mass selection within a wide size range. The source efficiency is demonstrated in deposition
experiments and transmission electron microscopy. For mass-selected iron particles deposited into a silver matrix we could
observe a change in the magnetic behaviour from ferromagnetism to superparamagnetism around a size of 10 nm at room temperature.

The deposition of preformed clusters on surfaces has been established as a new way for growing nano-suctures on surfaces.
It has been shown that supported island morphology relies on the dynamics of clusters, during the growth, giving rise to shapes
from compact to ramified types. This paper identifies and discusses, in the case of antimony cluster deposits, several processes
responsible for the non-equilibrium island shapes: limited kinetic cluster aggregation, size dependent coalescence, “wetting-like
behavior” of antimony clusters on antimony islands. Using successive predetermined cluster sizes during the deposition process
to synthesize polymorphic structure involves the interplay of those mechanisms.

We report on the formation and detection of a compressed fluid phase of Xe clusters in as- implanted Si, at room temperature.
The simultaneous structural characterization of the Xe clusters and of the Si matrix was performed by X-ray diffraction at
grazing incidence coupled with two-dimensional detection; in both cases, the nearest-neighbor distance and the coordination
were obtained. In order to investigate the early stage of the atomic inclusion and the cluster segregation, the average compression
and size of Xe fluid clusters within the amorphous Si matrix were explained within the simple Hard Sphere model.

In this paper, we show how the use of a third non-condensable species gives both new insight and control on the binary nucleation
process during supersonic expansion of gas mixtures. We present the case of an oxygen-nitrogen mixture diluted in various
proportions of helium. Using beam diagnostics, we determine the mean cluster composition and size as well as the percentage
of uncondensed matter present in the beam. The presence of helium permits us to understand the cooling and clustering role
played by each species during the expansion process. We discuss, in particular, its influence on the dramatic composition
change observed at the nucleation onset.

We present results of scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements of hydrogen-saturated silicon clusters islands formed
on Si(111)-( 7×7) surfaces. Nanometer-size islands of Si6H12 with a height of 0.2-4 nm were assembled with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) using a tip-to-sample voltage larger
than 3 V. STS spectra of Si6H12 cluster islands show characteristic peaks originating in resonance tunneling through discrete states of the clusters. The
peak positions change little with island height, while the peak width shows a tendency of narrowing for the tall islands.
The peak narrowing is interpreted as increase of lifetime of electron trapped at the cluster states. The lifetime was as short
as 10-13 s resulting from interaction with the dangling bonds of surface atoms, which prevents charge accumulation at the cluster
islands.

The crystalline structure of Co clusters embedded in an amorphous Al2O3 matrix was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron diffraction (TED). In the first stage of the growth
a metastable structure (body-centred-cubic) is observed. A face-centred-cubic phase (fcc) is found when the size of the clusters
increases ( diameter > 4 nm). The hexagonal-close-packed phase arises in the fcc phase by a succession of stacking faults at the largest sizes.
The mechanisms of phase transformation have been determined by using high resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The chemical
nature of the clusters, in particular the existence of Co-O bonds, was investigated by using electron energy loss spectroscopy
(EELS).

This contribution addresses the inelastic interaction of positively charged molecular cluster ions with a solid surface at
kinetic energies up to 30 eV/molecule. We report experimental results on the scattering of mass-selected, protonated methanol
cluster cations (CH3OH)nH+, n = 4-32, off a diamond-coated silicon surface. In particular we provide fragment size distributions of methanol cluster ions
following their impact on the target, as well as surface-induced neutralization probabilities of methanol cluster ions as
a function of the size and the kinetic energy of the parent clusters.

Nanostructured titanium dioxide films have been deposited
by supersonic cluster beam deposition (CBD). Nanoparticles are
produced by a pulsed microplasma cluster source (PMCS) and
selected by aerodynamic separation effects. The as-deposited
film is a complex mixture where amorphous material coexists, at
the nanoscale, with anatase and rutile crystal phases. The
nanocrystalline fraction of the film is characterized by crystal
size ranging from 100 nm to less than 5 nm. We have
characterized the film structure by transmission electron
microscopy, Raman spectromicroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and
UV-visible spectroscopy showing that correlations exist between
cluster size and film properties. In particular if very small
clusters are deposited, the film shows a predominant rutile
phase whereas larger clusters form films with mainly anatase
structure. Our observations suggest that phonon confinement
effects are responsible for a significant shift and broadening
observed for the Raman peaks. In addition, optical gap tuning is
provided by mass selection: large clusters assembling generates
a film with 3.22 eV optical gap, while smallest clusters 3.52
eV. 相似文献

The electronic and atomic structure of Al13H has been studied using Density Functional Theory. Al13H has closed electronic shells. This makes the cluster very stable and suggests that it could be a candidate to form cluster
assembled solids. The interaction between two Al13H clusters was analyzed and we found that the two units preserve their identities in the dimer. A cubic-like solid phase assembled
from Al13H units was then modeled. In that solid the clusters retain much of their identity. Molecular dynamics runs show that the
structure of the assembled solid is stable at least up to 150 K. A favorable relative orientation of the clusters with respect
to their neighbors is critical for the stability of that solid.

We present generalized dynamical models describing the sharing of information, and the corresponding herd behavior, in a population
based on the recent model proposed by Eguıluz and Zimmermann (EZ) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 5659 (2000)]. The EZ model, which is a dynamical version of the herd formation model of Cont and Bouchaud (CB), gives a
reasonable model for the formation of clusters of agents and for actions taken by clusters of agents. Both the EZ and CB models
give a cluster size distribution characterized by a power law with an exponent -5/2. By introducing a size-dependent probability
for dissociation of a cluster of agents, we show that the exponent characterizing the cluster size distribution becomes model-dependent
and non-universal, with an exponential cutoff for large cluster sizes. The actions taken by the clusters of agents generate
the price returns, the distribution of which is also characterized by a model-dependent exponent. When a size-dependent transaction
rate is introduced instead of a size-dependent dissociation rate, it is found that the distribution of price returns is characterized
by a model-dependent exponent while the exponent for the cluster-size distribution remains unchanged. The resulting systems
provide simplified models of a financial market and yield power law behaviour with an easily tunable exponent.

Singly charged silver-cluster anions are produced in a laser vaporization source and transferred into a Penning trap. After
size selection the clusters are subjected to an electron bath in the trap, which results in the attachment of further electrons.
The relative abundance of dianions or trianions as a function of the clusters' size is analyzed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
Silver-cluster dianions are observed for sizes n≥ 24 and trianions for n > 100. In addition, a detailed study of the cluster sizes 24 ?n? 60 shows a pronounced resistance to electron attachment for singly charged anions Agn
- with a closed electronic shell, in particular Ag29
-, Ag33
-, and Ag39

favorably with previous theoretical investigations of the respective electron affinities.

Intracluster electron transfer and oligomerization reaction were investigated by mass spectrometry of clusters of alkali metal
atom (M) with acrylonitrile (AN; CH2=CHCN). In the photoionization mass spectra of M(AN)n, magic numbers were clearly observed at n = 3k (k = 1-4 for M = Na and K, k = 1 for M = Li). The results of photodissociation of neutral K(AN)n indicate that the n = 3 cluster has an anomalous stability relative to other sizes of clusters. The C=C bond in vinyl molecules is also found
to be necessary to form the magic numbers by measuring the photoionization mass spectrum of K atom with propionitrile. These
results strongly support the intracluster anionic oligomerization reaction initiated by electron transfer from the alkali
atom. The quantum chemical calculations have revealed that the evaporation induced by excess energy generated by intracluster
oligomerization is important to form the magic numbers in the present clusters.

A new site percolation model, directed spiral percolation (DSP), under both directional and rotational (spiral) constraints
is studied numerically on the square lattice. The critical percolation threshold p
c ≈ 0.655 is found between the directed and spiral percolation thresholds. Infinite percolation clusters are fractals of dimension
d
f ≈ 1.733. The clusters generated are anisotropic. Due to the rotational constraint, the cluster growth is deviated from that
expected due to the directional constraint. Connectivity lengths, one along the elongation of the cluster and the other perpendicular
to it, diverge as p → p
c with different critical exponents. The clusters are less anisotropic than the directed percolation clusters. Different moments
of the cluster size distribution P
s(p) show power law behaviour with | p - p
c| in the critical regime with appropriate critical exponents. The values of the critical exponents are estimated and found
to be very different from those obtained in other percolation models. The proposed DSP model thus belongs to a new universality
class. A scaling theory has been developed for the cluster related quantities. The critical exponents satisfy the scaling
relations including the hyperscaling which is violated in directed percolation. A reasonable data collapse is observed in
favour of the assumed scaling function form of P
s(p). The results obtained are in good agreement with other model calculations.

The shape of the velocity distributions of charged particles projected on the beam direction can be explained if emissions
from the hot projectile-like fragment and the target-like fragment are supplemented by an emission from an intermediate velocity
source located between them. The creation of this source is predicted by a two-stage reaction model where, in the second stage,
some of the nucleons identified in the first stage as participants form a group of clusters located in the region between
the colliding nuclei. The cluster coalescence process is governed on the average by the maximum value of entropy, although
its fluctuations are also significant. The properties of the intermediate velocity source are precisely described, including
the isotopic composition of the emitted particles.
