Clusters
constitute
a
fascinating
field
of
research
in
physics,
chemistry,
and
materials
science.
This
book
introduces
atomic
clusters,
ranging
from
the
weakly
bonded
clusters
of
argon
to
strongly-bonded
carbon
clusters
and
metal
nano-particles.
It
describes
the
experimental
generation,
detection,
and
interrogation
of
clusters
along
with
theoretical
approaches
developed
to
help
readers
understand
the
physical
properties.
It
classifies
clusters
according
to
their
bonding
types
and
gives
examples
of
present
and
possible
future
applications
of
clusters
in
electronic,
optical
and
magnetic
devices. Citește tot Restrânge
