Recent experimental data on the dipole plasmon in axial sodium clusters Na N + with 11 ≤ N ≤ 57 are analyzed within a self-consistent separable random-phase approximation (SRPA) based on the deformed Konh-Sham functional. Good agreement with the data is achieved. The calculations show that, while in light clusters plasmon properties (gross structure and width) are determined mainly by deformation splitting, in medium clusters with N τ 50 the Landau fragmentation becomes decisive. Moreover, in medium clusters shape isomers come to play with contributions to the plasmon comparable with the ground state one. As a result, commonly used methods of the experimental analysis of cluster deformation become useless and correct treatment of cluster shape requires microscopic calculations. 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.

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.

We report a combined experimental and computational
investigation of small AlnOm species (n ≤20, m ≤
12), produced in a laser vaporization cluster source. The oxygen
content in the clusters was tuned by varying the oxygen
concentration in the carrier gas. Ionization energies are
bracketed using different ionizing photon energies in the energy
range between 5.37 and 7.89 eV. Among the singly doped AlnO
species, Al3O and Al15O are found to have relatively low
ionization energies, which can be related to the magic character
of the corresponding cations. Peculiarly low ionization energies
also are observed for specific oxygen rich species (m > 1),
suggesting the formation of ionically bound subunits. The
structures and ionization energies of singly doped AlnO0,+
(n = 1 - 7) clusters were determined using density functional
theory (B3LYP/6-311+G(d)).

The structures, binding energies, and electronic properties of
Cn and NaCn (n=2–12) clusters have been systematically
investigated using density functional theory (DFT). A number of
previously undiscovered isomers of NaCn clusters are reported,
including fan-like, linear and three-dimensional structures.
Moreover, NaCn clusters with even n are found to be more
stable than those with odd n, in contrast with
the case of Cn clusters. 相似文献

The geometrical structure of ground state Ban clusters (n
=2-14) has been predicted from various types of calculations including two ab initio approaches used for the smaller sizes namely HF+MP2(
n
=2-6), DFT (LSDA)(
n
=2-6, 9) and one model approach HF+pairwise dispersion used for all sizes investigated here. The lowest energy configurations
as well as some isomers have been investigated. The sizes n
=4, 7 and 13 are predicted to be the relatively more stable ones and they correspond to the three compact structures: the tetrahedron,
the pentagonal bipyramid and the icosahedron. The growth behavior from Ba7 to Ba13 appears to be characterized by the addition of atoms around a pentagonal bipyramid leading to the icosahedral structure of
Ba13 which is consistent with the observed size-distribution of barium clusters. Values for vertical ionization potentials calculated
for n
=2-5 at the CI level are seen to be in quite good agreement with recent measures.

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.

Tight-binding model is developed to study the structural and electronic properties of silver clusters. The ground state structures
of Ag clusters up to 21 atoms are optimized by molecular dynamics-based genetic algorithm. The results on small Agn clusters (n = 3-9) are comparable to ab initio calculations. The size dependence of electronic properties such as density of states, s-d band separation, HOMO-LUMO gap, and ionization potentials are discussed. Magic number behavior at Ag2, Ag8, Ag14, Ag18, Ag20 is obtained, in agreement with the prediction of electronic ellipsoid shell model. We suggest that both the electronic and
geometrical effect play significant role in the coinage metal clusters.

We report on experimental and theoretical efforts designed
to understand the fragmentation of small carbon clusters.
Experimentally, a new detection system for high velocity
fragments has been recently developed allowing the fragmentation
of high velocity clusters to be totally recorded [1]. Results
for the branching ratios of deexcitation of
C5 and C9 formed
by electron capture in high velocity
collisions are presented. Theoretically, the dissociation
dynamics of C5 has been investigated
using a kinematical model based on the statistical theory of
Weisskopf. In this model various structural quantities
(geometries, dissociation energies, harmonic frequencies), are
required for both the parent cluster and the fragments. They
have been calculated within DFT and coupled-cluster formalisms
for Cn up to n = 9.
In all cases, a strong correlation between measured branching
ratios and calculated dissociation energies is observed. 相似文献

The macroscopic-microscopic method is adapted to
atomic clusters deposited on a surface. Analytical relationships for the
deformation-dependent liquid drop model (LDM) energies of oblate and prolate
semi-spheroidal atomic clusters have been obtained. A superdeformed prolate
semi-spheroid is the most stable semi-spheroidal shape within LDM. It is also
the shape with maximum degeneracy of quantum states of the
semi-spheroidal harmonic oscillator used to compute the shell and pairing
corrections.
The microscopic corrections as well as total deformation energy show
parabolic valley and ridges of the potential energy surfaces in the plane
(deformation, number of atoms). The ground state and isomeric state
deformation of clusters of various sizes depends on the interplay between
the minima of LDM and shell correction energies. 相似文献

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

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

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

Mass-resolved resonant two photon ionisation (R2PI) and infrared ion dip spectra have been recorded for 4-phenylimidazole
(4PI) and its singly and multiply hydrated clusters 4PI(H2O)n = 0 - 4, under supersonic expansion conditions. In the case of 4PI(H2O)0,1, it has also been possible to record infrared spectra in both the ground (S0) and excited (S1) states. Combining the experimental data with the results of ab initio calculations has led to the structural assignment of each cluster. In each case, the water molecules bind primarily to the
NH site of the imidazole ring. Clusters with n≥ 2 incorporate linear water chains, in which the proton donating terminus bridges either to the π-electron system (n = 2) or to the >N: atom site (n = 3, 4) on the imidazole ring. Despite the creation of a “water wire”, connecting the donor and acceptor sites of imidazole,
there is no evidence of proton transfer in either the ground or excited state.

Resonant Auger spectra of O2 clusters excited at the O1s edge are reported. After excitation to the repulsive 1s-13σ* state, the resulting resonant Auger spectrum displays features that remain constant in kinetic energy as the photon energy
is detuned. The shift between known atomic fragment features and these features is consistent with that observed for atoms
and clusters in singly charged states in direct photoemission. These findings are strong evidence for the existence of molecular
ultrafast dissociation processes within the clusters or on their surface. 相似文献

clusters (solvents being , or ) have been studied by resonance enhanced two photons ionization, leading to the detection of clusters. When water is the solvent, large clusters up to n>50 can be observed, whereas for and no clusters larger than 10 could be evidenced. Because the first step in the ionization process is the excitation from the
ground solvated () ion pair state to a covalent excited state, the differences in the cluster size distribution for different solvent may be
interpreted as a difference in cluster structures leading to a difference in the charge separation in the ground state.

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 stability against fragmentation and possible relaxation of the lowest excited states of the Na5F4 cluster (representative of cubic non stoechiometric clusters with an excess sodium atom, also called sodium-tail) is investigated
by means of one-electron pseudopotential calculations with particular reference to photoabsorption processes from the ground
state. Whereas the equilibrium configuration of the ground state has C3v symmetry, the doubly degenerate 12E excited state is affected by a conical intersection and a Jahn-Teller effect associated with the rotation of the sodium
tail around the C3-axis. This yields a “Mexican hat" topology for the lowest sheet with three equivalent Cs minima. Alternatively the 22A1 state has a minimum retaining the C3v symmetry. The dissociation paths of the cluster along the C3-axis into respectively Na4F4 + Na and Na4F3 + NaF are also investigated. Among the former paths, the excited states are found adiabatically stable with respect to the
products. However in the A1 symmetry, fragmentation into NaF exhibits an interesting avoided crossing between configurations correlated respectively
with Na4F3
+ + NaF- and Na4F3 + NaF. Such interaction, similar to the well-known charge exchange processes in elementary molecules might induce non adiabatic
predissociation of the 22A1 state. This mechanism is invoked to explain the differences between R2PI and depletion spectra, correlated with the dissociation
or relaxation of the excited states.

ArnHCl+ van-der-Waals clusters for n = 1–13 are investigated
with the “minimal diatomics-in-molecules (DIM) model”
using ab-initio input data obtained from multi-reference
configuration-interaction calculations plus subsequent projection onto
valence-bond wavefunctions.
The results for the complexes with n = 1–3 are checked against
ab-initio calculations at the
coupled-cluster (CCSD) level with the same one-electron atomic basis set as
for the input data generation (aug-cc-pVTZ from Dunning).
In addition to the electronic ground state,
the first excited
state for the triatomic
complex (n = 1) is also studied.
The results
from the DIM model are shown to be in fair agreement with those from
advanced conventional ab-initio calculations, although there are
differences in detail. The comparison
justifies the extension of the DIM approach to n > 3.
Systematic analysis of the local minima of the multi-dimensional
potential-energy surfaces (PESs), carried out with the combined
method
described in part I (Monte-Carlo sampling plus subsequent steepest-descent
optimization), reveals simple building-up regularities for the most
stable structures (i.e. those corresponding to the global PES minimum)
at each n: apart from always having a nearly linear
(Ar–H–Cl)+ fragment as core, the aggregates show little
or no symmetry. Secondary local minima are also determined and their
structures interpreted.
The PESs for the low-lying excited states reveal a much more complicated
topography compared to the ArnH+ clusters allowing a variety
of photo-processes.
The energy level sequence of the first five excited electronic states
and the stability of the clusters in these states is studied
as a function of the cluster size n. 相似文献
