This overview of energy landscapes will focus on some rigorous properties of potential
energy surfaces (PES's), especially the symmetry properties of steepest-descent paths, and …

We review a theory for coupled many-nonlinear oscillator systems that describes quantum
ergodicity and energy flow in molecules. The theory exploits the isomorphism between …

This paper constitutes a review of the control of toxic metal emissions using sorbents. The
objective of sorbent-in-jection methods is to effectively capture the metal species (preferably …

We present experimental evidence which demonstrates for the first time that small particles
on substrates sit in deep potential-energy wells and, once floated out of these, can quasimelt …

An investigation of melting, freezing, and coexistence phenomena is presented for small
clusters Ar7, Ars, Ar! 3'and Ar! 4 as specific representative examples. Combining the results …

DETERMINING whether time series of data from dynamical systems exhibit regular,
stochastic or chaotic behaviour is a goal in a wide variety of problems. For sparse time …

We begin with a brief overview of canonical perturbation theory and an efficient technique,
so‐called algebraic quantization, for applying this method to a regional Hamiltonian about …

Covering the key theories, tools, and techniques of this dynamic field, Handbook of
Nanophysics: Principles and Methods elucidates the general theoretical principles and …

We scrutinize the saddle crossings of a simple cluster of six atoms to show (a) that it is
possible to choose a coordinate system in which the transmission coefficient for the classical …

The aim of this article is twofold. We first review our current picture, Local Random Matrix
Theory (LRMT), of quantum energy flow and localization in moderate‐sized molecules …
