Product Description
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. |

Comprehensive and clear. by Alberto Castro Barrigon (Berlin, Germany)  5 Stars
January 09, 2007
The book covers most aspects of two decades of cluster physics. The fundamental research on most cluster types (metallic, covalent, etc) is reviewed, paying attention both to the experimental aspects, and to the theoretical interpretations. Of course, the field is nowadays vast, and some topics may be only shallowly commented, but I think that the list of references may help on this.
