The structural properties of free nanoclusters are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the
interplay of energetic, thermodynamic, and kinetic factors in the explanation of cluster …

This article provides, in tutorial style, a review of X-ray scattering methods commonly used to
characterise nanoparticles and gives numerous case studies of basic science and industrial …

Size-and temperature-dependent structural transitions in gold nanoparticles were revealed
with morphology statistics obtained by high-resolution electron microscopic observations for …

Molecular dynamics simulations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the three commonly
occurring phases (anatase, brookite, and rutile) are reported. The structural properties …

A novel multicollision induced dissociation scheme is employed to determine the energy
content for mass-selected gallium cluster ions as a function of their temperature …

We examine in detail the causes of the structural transitions that occur for those small
Lennard-Jones clusters that have a nonicosahedral global minima. Based on the principles …

We present results from a molecular dynamics simulation study of a Pd cluster and a
nanowire of the same diameter using the Sutton-Chen many body potential function …

We report on energetic surface reconstruction phenomena observed on bimetallic
nanoparticle systems of AuPd and AuCu, similar to a resolidification effect observed during …

Nanoscale sliding friction behavior of nanoparticle on Cu/Ag bilayers influenced by water
film is investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The results show that the …

The size-temperature “phase diagram” for small Lennard-Jones clusters LJ n (n⩽ 147) is
constructed based on the analysis of the heat capacities C v (T), computed by the parallel …
