Using Penning-trap experiments and a shell-correction method incorporating ellipsoidal shape deformations, we investigate
the formation and stability patterns of trianionic gold clusters. Theory and experiment are in remarkable agreement concerning
appearance sizes and electronic shell effects. In contrast to multiply cationic clusters, decay of the trianionic gold clusters
occurs primarily via electron autodetachment and tunneling through a Coulomb barrier, rather than via fission.

We investigate the dynamical evolution of a Na8 cluster embedded in Ar matrices of various sizes from N=30 to 1048.
The system is excited by an intense short laser pulse leading to high
ionization stages.We analyze the subsequent highly non-linear motion of cluster and Ar environment in terms of trajectories,
shapes, and energy flow.
The most prominent effects are: temporary stabilization of high charge states for several ps, sudden stopping of the Coulomb
explosion of the embedded Na8
clusters associated with an extremely fast energy transfer to the Ar
matrix, fast distribution of energy throughout the Ar layers by a sound wave.
Other ionic-atomic transfer and relaxation processes proceed at slower
scale of few ps. The electron cloud is almost thermally decoupled
from ions and thermalizes far beyond the ps scale. 相似文献

Stability of highly charged metal clusters in the electric field of an external ion is investigated with the classical liquid
drop model. We study the optimum shape of the cluster which has a local minimum of the total energy, taking account of the
effects of the surface charge polarization on the Coulomb energy and the cluster deformation on the surface energy. We find
that the cluster deformation greatly affects the total energy of the system and that a cluster with a fissility larger than
some critical value 0.7-0.8 can become unstable against deformation. We investigate the local competition between the Coulomb
force and the surface tension at the cluster surface and show that the surface charge polarization which is induced by the
external electric field significantly affects the shape of the cluster and its stability.

Condensation of nano-droplets in a supersaturating vapor decomposes in two steps: the formation of a nucleation center, also
called critical nuclei or nucleation seed, and the growth sequence, by accretion of further atoms on the nucleation center.
These two steps have been investigated separately through the clustering of homogeneous particles Nan and heterogeneous particles NanX in a helium buffer gas (X = (Na2O)2 or (NaOH)2). The growth sequence is analyzed with preformed molecules X injected in a supersaturating sodium vapor and driving production
of NanX clusters.
Cluster distribution mean sizes are controlled by sodium concentration and by the condensation cell effective length. The
signal intensities observed for homogeneous and heterogeneous clusters are proportional to the homogeneous and heterogeneous
nucleation center numbers respectively. We can measure the efficiency for the homogeneous nucleation center production versus
sodium concentration. This process is the onset of the condensation phase transition. 相似文献

Finite-size effects on the static and thermodynamical
properties of small three-dimensional clusters of identical charged
particles confined by an harmonic trap are investigated using global
optimization and numerical simulations. The relative stabilities of
clusters containing up to 100 particles are estimated from the
second energy derivatives, as well as from the energy gap between
the two lowest-energy structures at a given size. We also provide a
lower bound for the number of permutationally independent minima, as
a function of size, up to n=75. Molecular dynamics and exchange
Monte Carlo simulations are performed to get insight into the finite
temperature behaviour of these clusters. By focusing on specific
sizes, we illustrate the interplay between the stable structures,
the possible competition between different isomers, and the melting
point. In particular, we find that the orientational melting
phenomenon known in two-dimensional clusters has an equivalent form
in some three-dimensional clusters. The vibrational spectra,
computed for all sizes up to 100, shows an increasing number of
low-frequency modes, but comparing to hydrodynamical theory reveals
strong correlation effects. Finally, we investigate the effects
of the trap anisotropy on the general shape of Coulomb clusters, and
on the melting point of a selected case. 相似文献

Theoretical and experimental information on the shape and
morphology of bare and passivated gold clusters is fundamental
to predict and understand their electronic, optical, and other
physical and chemical properties. An effective theoretical
approach to determine the lowest-energy configuration (global
minimum) and the structures of low energy isomers (local minima)
of clusters is to combine genetic algorithms and many-body
potentials (to perform global structural optimizations), and
first-principles density functional theory (to confirm the
stability and energy ordering of the local minima). The main
trend emerging from structural optimizations of bare Au clusters
in the size range of 12-212 atoms indicates that many
topologically interesting low-symmetry, disordered structures
exist with energy near or below the lowest-energy ordered
isomer. For example, chiral structures have been obtained as the
lowest-energy isomers of bare Au28 and
Au55 clusters, whereas in the size-range
of 75-212 atoms, defective Marks decahedral structures are
nearly degenerate in energy with the ordered symmetrical
isomers. For methylthiol-passivated gold nanoclusters
[Au28(SCH3)16
and
Au38(SCH3)24],
density functional structural relaxations have shown that the
ligands are not only playing the role of passivating molecules,
but their effect is strong enough to distort the metal cluster
structure. In this work, a theoretical approach to characterize
and quantify chirality in clusters, based on the Hausdorff
chirality measure, is described. After calculating the index of
chirality in bare and passivated gold clusters, it is found that
the thiol monolayer induces or increases the degree of chirality
of the metallic core. We also report simulated high-resolution
transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images which show that
defects in decahedral gold nanoclusters, with size between 1-2
nm, can be detected using currently available experimental HRTEM
techniques. 相似文献

We performed a systematic investigation of the small BxNy (x + y? 6) clusters using the ab initio Hartree-Fock scheme plus second-order perturbation theory. The nature of the potential energy surface extrema are analyzed
through analytical total energy second derivatives. Ionization potentials, binding energies and the stability against some
possible reaction mechanisms are calculated. Based on these results we propose that the growing process for these clusters
is mainly due to the successive incorporation of BN molecules. A discussion of some mass spectrometry experimental results
is also presented.

The spectra of deep inner-core excited mixed rare-gas clusters were recorded by using electron ion coincidence (EICO) and
multi-hit momentum imaging (MHMI) techniques.
The EICO spectra for Ar99Kr1 clusters reveal that singly charged ions are emitted from the inner-core excited clusters in addition to the multiple charged
ions.
The dependence of the EICO spectra on photon energy and cluster size suggests that the holes created through vacancy cascade
on the krypton atoms are transferred to the surrounding atoms, and that the singly charged ions are the primary product of
the krypton photoabsorption.
Charge localization is suggested for the inner-core excited mixed rare-gas clusters from the analysis of the EICO peak width.
The MHMI measurements give us direct evidence for the strong charge migration from X-ray absorbing atoms to surrounding atoms.
The photon energy dependence of the PSD image for fragment ions suggests that the momentum of the fragment ions depends on
the number of charges generated by the vacancy cascade. 相似文献

The stability of neutral, singly and multiply ionized silicon clusters, (N
= 2-7, M
= 0, , , ), has been investigated using an ab initio density functional method. We show that the fragmentation effect significantly affects the structure of mass-spectra of multiply
ionized silicon clusters. For clusters, the clusters with a large fragmentation energy are found to correspond to the high peaks at N = 4 and 6 in mass-spectra. For clusters, a peak at N = 5 in mass-spectra has been predicted to be especially high.

The systematics of the plasmon response in spherical K, Na and Li clusters in a wide size region is studied. Two simplifying approximations whose validity has been established previously are considered: (a) a separable
approach to the random-phase-approximation, involving an expansion of the residual interaction into a sum of separable terms,
(b) the electron-ion interaction is modeled within the pseudo-Hamiltonian jellium model (PHJM) including nonlocal effects
by means of realistic atomic pseudoHamiltonians. In cases where nonlocal effects turn out to be negligible, the Structure
Averaged Jellium Model (SAJM) has been used. The leading role of Landau damping in forming the plasmon width in medium and
large clusters is demonstrated. Good agreement with available experimental data is achieved for K, Na (using the SAJM) and
small Li clusters (invoking the PHJM). The trends for peak position and width are generally well reproduced, even up to details
of the Landau fragmentation in several clusters. Less good agreement, however, is found for large Li clusters. The possible
reasons of the discrepancy are discussed.

The influence of doping of Li-clusters by electronegative O and C atoms on the ionization potentials was investigated. Experimentally,
we report ionization potentials for bare Lin clusters deduced from photoionization efficiency spectra. The values are compared with the results for LinO and LinC clusters. Observed differences are largely attributed to a quantum size effect caused by the segregated molecular part around
the impurity, which changes the electron work function. Theoretically, the Fermi and exchange-correlation energies which enter
the work function, are calculated in the frame of the augmented plane wave (APW) method by taking explicitly into account
the presence of the molecular core. The other contribution to the work function, the moment of the double layer at the cluster
surface, is computed by solving the corresponding Poisson's equation.

Ion traps are wall-less containers which allow the
extended storage of selected species. During the storage various
interaction steps may be repeatedly applied. To this end no
further hardware has to be added - in contrast to beam
experiments. In this progress report two examples of recent
developments are presented: the experiments have been performed
with metal clusters stored in a Penning (ion cyclotron
resonance) trap. A new experimental scheme has been developed
which allows precision measurements of the dissociation energies
of polyatomic species. It has been triggered by investigations
on the delayed photodissociation of stored metal clusters.
However, the technique is also readily available for application
to a broad variety of different species and it is not even
restricted to trapping experiments. The second development is
more closely connected with ion storage in Penning traps: by
application of an electron bath singly charged anionic
clusters can be converted into multiply charged species.
Subsequently, they are charge selected and investigated with
respect to their reaction upon excitation. In particular,
preliminary results indicate that dianionic metal clusters emit
two electrons upon photoexcitation whereas the singly charged
species show dissociation. 相似文献

The effect of melting transition on the ionization potential has been studied for sodium clusters with 40, 55, 142, and 147
atoms, using ab initio and classical molecular dynamics. Classical and ab initio simulations were performed to determine the ionization potential of Na142 and Na147 for solid, partly melted, and liquid structures. The results reveal no correlation between the vertical ionization potential
and the degree of surface disorder, melting, or the total energy of the cluster obtained with the ab initio method. However, in the case of 40 and 55 atom clusters, the ionization potential seems to decrease when the cluster melts.

Photoionization of rare gas clusters in the innervalence shell region has been investigated using threshold photoelectron
and photoion spectrometers and synchrotron radiation. Two classes of states are found to play an important role: (A) valence
states, correlated to dissociation limits involving an ion with a hole in its innervalence ns shell, (B) Rydberg states correlated to dissociation limits involving an ion with a hole in its outervalence np shell plus an excited neutral atom. In dimers, class A states are “bright”, that is, accessible by photoionization, and serve
as an entrance step to form the class B “dark” states; this character fades as the size of the cluster increases. In the dimer,
the “Mulliken” valence state is found to present a shallow potential well housing a few vibrational levels; it is predissociated by the
class B Rydberg states. During the predissociation a remarkable energy transfer process is observed from the excited ion that
loses its innershell electron to its neutral partner.

Optimized structures and cohesive energies of small
mercury clusters (HgN; N = 3–7, 13, 19) are calculated with the
spin-orbit diatomics-in-molecules method. The theory takes into account the
effect of s-p mixing which tends to enhance the binding energies in the
ground state. It is shown that excimer clusters have significantly short
optimum bond lengths and their atomic geometries differ considerably from
those in the ground state. Excitation energy gap depends sensitively on both
cluster size and nearest-neighbor separation. Numerical results are compared
with other theories and experiments. 相似文献

Photo-induced reaction of
[Fe(III)-protoporphyrin]+
(hemin+) ions solvated with
dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is investigated by using a tandem mass
spectrometer with electrospray ionization. We measure the
photodissociation yields of mass-selected
hemin+(DMSO)n
clusters for n = 0-3. The
mass spectra of the fragment ions show the -cleavage of
carboxymethyl groups in addition to the evaporation of solvent
molecules. Yield of the -cleavage reaction is found to depend
strongly on the excitation energy and the number of solvent
molecules. We also examine photo-induced reactions of
multiply-charged cytochrome c ions, (M + nH)n + (
n = 9-17). Photoionization is
found to be the dominant process for the lower charged states (
n = 9-12) and its yield
decreases rapidly with increasing the charge. The
photoionization is ascribed to the emission of electron by
multiphoton excitation of heme under the influence of Coulomb
attractive potential arising from the charges in the polypeptide
chain. Model calculations of the Coulomb potential suggest that
the structure of the polypeptide chain is completely elongated. 相似文献

An ab initio study of the Nan(OH)n, Nan(OH)n-1
+, Agn(OH)n, and Agn(OH)n-1
+ clusters with n up to four is presented. The results of this study show that, in accordance with experimental observations, the sodium hydroxide
clusters are almost purely ionic, while the Ag-O bond exhibits a significant covalent character. The perturbation caused by
the non-spherical OH- group relatively to an atomic anion, as well as the influence on structures and energies of the covalent character of the
metal-oxygen bond are determined. The appearance of metal-metal bonds in the silver hydroxide clusters is also discussed.
Finally, the theoretical results obtained on the Na-OH clusters are compared to experimental results available on the dissociation
of the Nan(OH)n-1
+ clusters.

Using laser photoelectron attachment to methyl iodide clusters in a differentially-pumped seeded supersonic helium beam and
mass spectrometric ion detection, we have measured the rate coefficients for formation of (q = 0-2) ions over the electron energy range 0-100 meV with an effective energy width of about 2.5 meV. Whereas a prominent
vibrational Feshbach resonance just below the onset for the C-I stretch vibration ( ) is observed for dissociative attachment to monomers (yielding I- ions), only weak and broad structure, shifted to lower energies, is detected for formation of ions and essentially no structure is left in the attachment spectrum for . These observations are interpreted by model R-matrix calculations which successfully describe the DA cross-section for the monomer and qualitatively recover the trend
observed for cluster ion formation. For the clusters, the effects of increased electron-target long-range interaction and
of solvation as well as coupling to soft vibrational modes lead to strong broadening and shifting of the vibrational Feshbach
resonance and, ultimately, to its disappearance.
