Atomic Clusters in the Gas Phase

  • Chapter
Gas Phase Inorganic Chemistry

Part of the book series: Modern Inorganic Chemistry ((MICE))

Abstract

Atomic clusters are systems represented by the simple chemical symbol A N , where A is the identity of the atom and N is the number of atoms constituting the cluster. They are related on one front (small N) to the variegated atoms and homonuclear diatomics, on another front to bulk elemental solids and liquids, and on yet another to the behavior of interfaces, since a high fraction of their atoms must be at the cluster surface.
