Metal ions play significant roles in numerous fields including chemistry, geochemistry,
biochemistry, and materials science. With computational tools increasingly becoming …

Herein, recent experiments on the spectroscopy and chemical reactions of molecules and
complexes embedded in helium droplets are reviewed. In the droplets, a high spectroscopic …

This book provides a penetrating and comprehensive description of energy selected
reactions from a theoretical as well as experimental view. Three major aspects of …

New combining rules are proposed for the well depth, ϵ, and interaction distance, σ,
describing nonbonded interatomic forces for rare gas pair interactions. Concepts underlying …

Though molecular beam experiments have revealed deficiencies in the Lorentz-Berthelot
combining rules, these rules are still used widely to parametrize effective pair potential …

The interatomic potentials between members of the rare gas family of atoms provide the
largest class of chemically identical atoms which interact via van der Waals potentials. 1, 2 …

A simple accurate potential of the HFD-B form, which appears to be the best characterization
of the He-He interaction constructed to date, is presented. It has been fitted to low …

The multiple pickup of up to 30 foreign particles by large (N≳ 103 atoms) liquid helium
clusters and the formation of clusters of the foreign particles within the helium cluster has …

Potential energy curves for three homonuclear (He 2, Ne 2, Ar 2) and three heteronuclear
(He–Ne, He–Ar, Ne–Ar) rare gas dimers are presented. The curves were calculated using …

General correlations between van der Waals interaction potential parameters and
polarizabilities of the interacting neutral–neutral partners of any nature are presented and …
