Quantum Phenomena in Clusters and Nanostructures Reviews

Quantum Phenomena in Clusters and Nanostructures

Clusters and nanoscale materials give rise to properties and behaviour that are governed by size restrictions, and hence display features directly attributable to quantum confinement. Thus they represent ideal media for observing and studying quantum phenomena. This book presents and evaluates some of the latest developments in this area of basic research. Each of the chapters focuses on selected aspects of the field, and the authors endeavour to display the breadth of the subject by presenting some of the important recent advances that have been made through the use of new experimental techniques and theoretical approaches.

Mesoscopic Materials and Clusters: Their Physical and Chemical Properties

Mesoscopic Materials and Clusters: Their Physical and Chemical Properties

Mesoscopic physics is a fast growing discipline with countless potential applications. Understanding the science of mesoscopic materials with unique physical and chemical properties is important for the design of nanodevices and materials with unique properties. Clusters as mesoscopic particles represent an intermediate state of matter between single atoms and solid material. This book deals with the properties of clusters in matrixes, on surfaces, and in vacuum. The formation and application of cluster-based materials is discussed. This book will appeal to physicists, chemists, materials researchers, and advanced students.

Clusters And Nano-assemblies: Physical And Biological Systems

Clusters And Nano-assemblies: Physical And Biological Systems

While the field of clusters and nano-structures in the physical sciences has been actively pursued only over the past two decades, nature has known the benefits of the nanoscale for a very long time. The focus of the International Symposium on Clusters and Nano-Assemblies: Physical and Biological Systems was to explore ways in which an understanding of the unique properties of nano-scale biological systems such as proteins, enzyme reactions, RNA, and DNA can help us design novel materials composed of inorganic nano-scale systems, and how techniques developed in the physical sciences can lead to a fundamental understanding of biological systems. Bringing together the expert contributions from the conference, this book deals with the fundamental science and technology of atomic clusters, nano-structures and their assemblies in physical and biological systems. It explores in fascinating detail the manner in which finite size, low dimensionality, and reduced symmetry affect the properties of nano-assemblies.

Solid State Physics of Finite Systems: Metal Clusters, Fullerenes, Atomic Wires

Solid State Physics of Finite Systems: Metal Clusters, Fullerenes, Atomic Wires

This book surveys the physics of the quantum, finite many-body systems that are the basis of nanostructures such as fullerenes and metal clusters. The ab-initio techniques for describing the single-particle motion (electrons) and the collective degrees of freedom (plasmons and phonons) and their interaction are discussed in detail and applied to the study of phenomena such as the electromagnetic response and superconductivity of these systems. Built around current research and drawing upon lectures given to advanced undergraduates, the book will interest students, young researchers and practitioners in the fields of solid-state and atomic physics and physical chemistry.

Metal Clusters at Surfaces: Structure, Quantum Properties, Physical Chemistry

Metal Clusters at Surfaces: Structure, Quantum Properties, Physical Chemistry

Numerous experiments and calculations have shown that isolated metal clusters possess many interesting features, quite different from those known from surface and solid- state physics or from atomic and molecular physics. The technological exploitation of these new properties, e.g. in miniature electronic or mechanical components, requires the cluster to be brought into an environment such as an encapsulating matrix or a surface. Due to the interaction with the contact medium, the properties of the clusters may change or even disappear. Thus the physics of cluster-on-surface systems — the main subject of this book — is of fundamental importance. The book addresses a wide audience, from the newcomer to the expert. Starting from fundamental concepts of adsorbate-surface interactions, the modification of electronic properties through electron confinement, and concepts of cluster production, it elucidates the distinct properties of the new metallic nanostructures.
