Today's knowledge of free gas-phase cluster ions originates mostly from very recent studies.
This review first summarizes exciting recent discoveries, the potential role of clusters in …

An efficient lattice based search and optimization procedure has been developed and used
with various assumed pair potentials to find minimal energy structures on an icosahedrally …

Atomic clusters are aggregates of atoms containing a few to several thousand atoms. Due to
the small size of these pieces of matter, the properties of atomic clusters in general are …

Thermochemical aspects of the cooling of isolated liquid drops by evaporation are
considered, with explicit reference to amorphous water. Monte Carlo simulations are used to …

Clusters of argon, krypton, and xenon are grown in a free jet and ionized by electron impact.
The size of these clusters,(Rg) n+, extends up to n"", 1 000. Individual cluster sizes are mass …

Neon atoms are captured by helium clusters in a crossed-beam experiment. The capture
process depends strongly on the cluster beam source conditions. We identify a sharply …

Clusters are produced by expanding high pressure (P 0≤ 20 bar), low temperature (T 0≥ 5
K) helium gas through a 5 μm nozzle into a vacuum. The neutral beam time‐of‐flight …

We have measured the photoabsorption spectra of mass selected Ar,; clusters, n= 3-40, from
355-1064 nm. The smaller clusters, n< 15, display a visible photoabsorption spectrum …

Ultrafast femtosecond Coulomb explosion of charged homogeneous (Xe n) and
heterogeneous doped (HIAr n) small and medium sized clusters (n< 60) is studied resting on …

We have analyzed the reaction channels for the delayed, unimolecular dissociation of
multiply charged clusters made from CO 2 and C 2 H 4. The smallest observable triply and …
