The discovery of carbon fullerene cages and their solids opened a new avenue to build
materials from stable cage clusters as “artificial atoms” or “superatoms” instead of atoms …

The solution chemistry of Group 14 Zintl-type clusters is of growing interest as a result of
their potential to be used as molecular building blocks for the construction of nanoscale …

Vanadium-doped small silicon clusters, VSin-and V2Sin-(n= 3–6), have been studied by
anion photoelectron spectroscopy. The vertical detachment energies (VDEs) and adiabatic …

We recently demonstrated that, in gas phase clusters containing aluminum and iodine
atoms, an Al13 cluster behaves like a halogen atom, whereas an Al14 cluster exhibits …

Silicon clusters mixed with a transition metal atom, MSi n, were generated by a double-laser
vaporization method, and the electronic and geometric stabilities for the resulting clusters …

The electronic properties of silicon clusters containing a transition or lanthanide metal atom
from group 3, 4, or 5, M Si n⁠,(⁠ M= Sc⁠, Ti, V, Y, Zr, Nb, Lu, Tb, Ho, Hf, and Ta) were …

Our studies show that VSi12− adopts a V-centered hexagonal prism with a singlet spin state.
The addition of the second V atom leads to a capped hexagonal antiprism for V2Si12− in a …

The electronic properties of germanium and tin clusters containing a transition-or lanthanide-
metal atom from group 3, 4, or 5, MGen (M= Sc, Ti, V, Y, Zr, Nb, Lu, Hf, and Ta) and MSnn …

We investigated the structural evolution and electronic properties of medium-sized silicon
cluster anions doped with two transition metal atoms, TM2Sin−(TM= V, Cr; n= 14–20), by …

We present a systematic study of the structures and electronic properties of vanadium-doped
silicon cluster anions, VSin−(n= 14–20), by combining photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) …
