Sunlight-driven water splitting to produce hydrogen fuel has stimulated intensive scientific
interest, as this technology has the potential to revolutionize fossil fuel-based energy …

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 …

Proudly serving the scientific community for over a century, this 97th edition of the CRC
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is an update of a classic reference, mirroring the growth …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has achieved maturity as an analytical technique in
that it is a ubiquitous tool in the materials community, however as made apparent by recent …

In 1967 Palmer and Shelef wrote the definitive review of the early work on carbon clusters in
their article on the composition of carbon vapor, 1 Major advances have however been …

This paper presents a critical review of the basic data concerning the physics and chemistry
of low pressure SiH4 glow discharges used to deposit hydrogenated amorphous silicon …

The TM-doped Si-based semiconductor clusters have aroused increased attention in a lot of
fields. Here, we have performed a structural search of the global minimum for neutral and …

Ab initio calculations have been performed to study the structures and energies of
intermediatesized silicon clusters (Sin'n= 7-10). All geometries have been optimized at the …

Abstract Using the Car-Parrinello method, we have obtained unforeseen structures for the
low-lying isomers of Si 45 and other midsized Si clusters. They are formed by two shells of …

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra (UPS) are reported for mass-selected negative carbon
clusters extracted from a pulsed supersonic beam. In the size range from 48 to 84 atoms …
