Clusters are ensembles of bound atoms intermediate in size between a molecule and a bulk
solid. Some of these clusters form stable units with atomically precise structures that give …

Clusters that mimic elemental atoms in the periodic table are known as superatoms which
open up a new window to design functional materials and catalysts by atomic construction …

The collective properties of self-assembled nanoparticles with long-range order bear
immense potential for customized electronic materials by design. However, to mitigate the …

The assembly of molecules to form covalent networks can create varied lattice structures
with physical and chemical properties distinct from those of conventional atomic lattices …

Of the great classes of nanocluster crystallization,“cocrystallization” has gained significant
attention due to its elucidation of both intracluster structures and intercluster packing modes …

Superatoms have exciting properties, including diverse functionalization, redox activity, and
magnetic ordering, so the resulting cluster-assembled solids hold the promise of high …

The pyrite phase of sodium superoxide, NaO 2⁠, is studied using equilibrium molecular
dynamics simulations and lattice dynamics calculations to understand the impacts of static …

Creating structures with superatomic nanoclusters rather than atoms offers the possibility of
new hierarchical solids with collective properties. The variability of chemical compositions …

Rechargeable sodium/potassium-ion batteries (SIBs/PIBs) have emerged as appealing
alternatives for lithium-ion batteries due to their earth-abundance and economic benefits …

In a frequency-domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) experiment, the phase lag between the
surface temperature response and the applied heat flux is fit with an analytical solution to the …
