Stable Structures for Ge10 Cluster and Comparative Study with Si10 Cluster

“…We have investigated the structures and chemical properties of the clusters Si n and Ge n using this method [51 to 58]. The results are in good agreement with the related experiments [59,60].…”

Reactions of liquid and solid aluminum clusters with N2: The role of structure and phase in Al114+, Al115+, and Al117+

“…There have been a number of studies of metal cluster reactivity in the past, but these studies have mainly focused on the size-dependent variations in the reaction rates. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The studies reported here have more in common with surface reactive scattering studies, where a reagent beam impinges on a well-characterized surface. [25][26][27] In our studies we are able to vary the collision energy and the temperature of the cluster surface over wide ranges, investigating reactions on both the solid-like and liquid-like phases of the cluster.…”

Silicon clusters: chemistry and structure

“…The experimental approach used in these studies is exceedingly simple [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The cluster ions are made by pulsed laser vaporization.…”

“…In order to determine whether annealing the clusters influences their reactivity with ammonia a series of experiments were performed in which the clusters were collisionally annealed by injecting them at high energies into the drift tube where they are first excited by collisions with the buffer gas and then, when their kinetic energy is thermalized, cooled by further collisions [8]. Some typical results for Si25 are shown in Fig.…”
