Intracluster electron transfer from a metal atom/cluster followed by anionic oligomerization of vinyl molecules

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.

Structure and stability of clusters on metal surfaces

Small clusters of 3d metals Ni/Ni(001), Cu/Cu(001), 4d-Pd/Pd(001), Ag/Ag(001), 5d-Pt/Pt(001), and Au/Au(001) are investigated by semiempirical methods using multiparticle interatomic interaction potentials. It is shown that the same magic numbers (4, 6, and 9) are characteristic for all metals indicated; these numbers are determined by the symmetry characteristics of the clusters, related to the morphology of the fcc (001) substrate. It is shown for Pt/Pt(111) that small clusters of seven, ten, and more atoms are stable for the fcc (111) surface. This confirms that the magic numbers are associated with the symmetry of the clusters. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 41, 1329–1334 (July 1999)

More Magic Numbers in Anionic Titanium-carbon Mixed Clusters

Met-Cars[1] and related transition metal-carbon clusters represent a latest breakthrough in gas phase cluster research following the discovery and macroscopic synthesis of fullerenes. Different kinds of structural growth patterns (SGPs) have been proposed to analyze the observed magic numbers of these transition metal-carbon mixed clusters, including the multicage SGP[2], the nanocrystal SGP[3], and the recent layered SGP[4]. Recording larger magic numbers will be of great help to test and distinguish between the various SGPs.     

Geometric magic numbers of sodium clusters: Interpretation of the melting behaviour

Putative global minima of sodium clusters with up to 380 atoms have been located for two model interatomic potentials in order to identify the structures responsible for the size-dependence of the thermodynamic properties in experiments. Structures based upon the Mackay icosahedra predominate for both potentials, and the magic numbers for the Murrell-Mottram model show excellent agreement with the sizes at which maxima in the latent heat and entropy change at melting have been found in experiment. In particular, the magic numbers at sizes intermediate between the complete Mackay icosahedra are due to unusual twisted icosahedral structures.     

密度泛函理论研究BeSin(n=1-12)团簇的结构、稳定性与电子性质

运用密度泛函理论(DFT),考虑多种初始构型下的自旋多重态,在B3LYP/6-311G基组水平上研究BeSi_n(n=1-12)团簇的平衡几何结构、电子性质、振动光谱与极化率.结果表明:BeSi_n团簇在基态附近有许多能量非常接近的同分异构体,且BeSi_n团簇的基态结构绝大多数为立体结构.n=1时,体系的基态为自旋三重态,n≥2时,则为单重态.铍原子的掺入使得主团簇的电子性质发生了明显的变化,掺杂使得体系的化学稳定性降低.BeSi₃,BeSi₅,BeSi₇与BeSi₉是幻数结构.团簇中原子间的成键相互作用随n的增大而增强.

Stability of small mixed clusters of 4He and 3He atoms

The existence of small helium clusters containing a variable number of 4He and 3He atoms is studied within a variational Monte Carlo calculation employing the Aziz HFD-B(HE) pair interaction. The clusters 4He(2) support one and two 3He atoms; however, the system with three 3He atoms is metastable, and the next bound system requires at least 18 fermions. All clusters obtained by adding 3He atoms to the trimer 4He(3) and the tetramer 4He(4) are bound, but the clusters 4He(3)-3He(3,4,5) and 4He(3,4)-3He(9) are metastable. All remaining clusters with three or more bosons and any number of fermions are stable.     

Observation of atomiclike electronic excitations in pure 3He and 4He clusters studied by fluorescence excitation spectroscopy

The structure of the electronically excited states of 3He and 4He clusters is investigated using fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. Distinct bands are observed energetically close to atomic 1s-ns, nd, np transitions and attributed to perturbed excited He atomiclike states with different principle and orbital quantum numbers. The line shifts and widths of the bands of 3He and 4He clusters of the same size are different and correlate with the average particle density inside the clusters calculated using the density functional method.     

Statistical measures and magic numbers in metal clusters

In this work, a shell model for metal clusters up to 220 valence electrons is used to obtain the fractional occupation probabilities of the electronic orbitals. Then, the calculation of a statistical measure of complexity and the Fisher-Shannon information is carried out. An increase of both magnitudes with the number of valence electrons is observed. The shell structure is reflected by the behavior of the statistical complexity. The magic numbers are indicated by the Fisher-Shannon information. So, as in the case of atomic nuclei, the study of statistical indicators also unveil the existence of magic numbers in metal clusters.     

Density functional theory study of MgnNi2 （n=1-6） clusters

The geometries of Mg n Ni 2(n = 1-6) clusters are studied by using the hybrid density functional theory(B3LYP) with LANL2DZ basis sets.For the ground-state structures of Mg n Ni 2 clusters,the stabilities and the electronic properties are investigated.The results show that the groundstate structures and symmetries of Mg clusters change greatly due to the Ni atoms.The average binding energies have a growing tendency while the energy gaps have a declining tendency.In addition,the ionization energies exhibit an odd-even oscillation feature.We also conclude that n = 3,5 are the magic numbers of the Mg n Ni 2 clusters.The Mg 3 Ni 2 and Mg 5 Ni 2 clusters are more stable than neighbouring clusters,and the Mg 4 Ni 2 cluster exhibits a higher chemical activity.     

Configurations, Electronic Structure and Magnetic Ordering of Small Manganese Clusters

We investigate the configurations, electronic structures, and magnetic ordering of MnN （N = 2-13） clusters based on all-electron density functional theory. The Jahn-Teller effect plays an important role in determining the ground state of certain geometries. The magnetic ordering of the MnN dusters transits from ferromagnetic ordering for the smallest （ N = 2, 3） dusters to a near degeneracy state including ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic ordering in the vicinity of N = 4-6 and to a clear ferrimagnetic ordering at N = 7 or beyond. N = 6 and 10 are the magic numbers for neutrai MnN （N = 2-13） dusters.     

Liquid 3He droplets: Energy systematics and magic numbers

Ground state properties of ³He clusters are investigated in the framework of the Hartree-Fock theory using an effective interaction of phenomenological type. Binding energies and density distributions are evaluated for clusters up to N = 168 atoms. The analysis yields magic number effects at N = 40 and 70. The method predicts the existence of a minimum number of particles forming a bound droplet around N = 20.     

Hemispheroidal quantum harmonic oscillator

A deformed single-particle shell model is derived for a hemispheroidal potential well. Only the negative parity states of the Z(z) component of the wave function are allowed, so new magic numbers are obtained. The influence of a term proportional to l² in the Hamiltonian is investigated. The maximum degeneracy is reached at a superdeformed hemispheroidal prolate shape whose magic numbers are identical with those obtained at the spherical shape of the spheroidal harmonic oscillator. This remarkable property suggests an increased stability of such a distorted shape of deposited clusters when the planar surface remains opaque.     

Magic numbers of atoms in surface-supported planar clusters

Surface-supported planar clusters can sprout active research and create numerous applications in the realm of nanotechnology. Exploitation of these clusters will be more extended if their properties on a supported substrate are thoroughly apprehended, and if they can be fabricated in a controllable way. Here we report finding the magic numbers in two-dimensional Ag clusters grown on Pb quantum islands. We demonstrate, with the images and energy spectra of atomic precision, the transition from electronic origin to a geometric one within the same system. Applying the magic nature, we can also produce a large array of planar clusters with well-defined sizes and shapes.     

Cluster formation in UV laser ablation plumes of ZnSe and ZnO studied by time-of-flight mass spectrometry

The composition of nitrogen laser (wavelength 337 nm, pulse width 3 ns) induced ablation plumes from ZnSe and ZnO targets was studied at different laser fluences using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. In the case of ZnSe, abundant ion signals corresponding to Se and ZnSe clusters, some of which were Se-rich, were detected with fluence-dependent distributions. At a laser fluence of 1250 J m^-2, clusters with elevated intensity were observed at sizes of 6, 13, 19, 23 and 33 ZnSe molecules (magic numbers), which match quite well with the earlier observation by others of magic numbers of chemically similar ZnS produced by a conventional vaporization and quenching scheme. In the case of ZnO, we detected the presence of atomic Zn and molecular species of ZnO, as well as a series of (ZnO)_n-type clusters with fluence-dependent distributions. Unlike the case of ZnSe, no magic numbers were observed for ZnO. PACS 61.46.+w; 82.80.Rt; 42.62.-b; 81.16.Mk
