Introduction to clusters. -- Experimental production of clusters. -- Van der Waals clusters. -- Electronic and atomic shells in metal clusters. -- Electronic and optical properties of simple metal clusters. -- Melting and fragmentation of metal clusters. -- Bimetallic clusters. -- Clusters of the transition metals. -- Magnetism. -- Clusters of ionic materials. -- Carbon clusters. -- Assembling of new materials from clusters
Atomic clusters are the bridge between molecules and the bulk matter. Following two key experiments - the observation of electronic shells in metallic clusters and the discovery of the C60 fullerence - the field of atomic clusters has experienced a rapid growth, and is now considered a mature field. The electrons of the cluster are confined to a small volume, hence, quantum effects are manifested on many properties of the clusters. Another interesting feature is that the properties often change in a non-smooth way as the number of atoms in the cluster increases. This book provides an updated overview of the field, and presents a detailed description of the structure and electronic properties of different types of clusters: Van der Waals clusters, metallic clusters, clusters of ionic materials and network clusters. The assembling of clusters is also considered, since specially stable clusters are expected to play a role in the future design and synthesis of new materials
