Diffraction is the most common method to solve for unknown or partially known crystal structures. However, it remains a challenge to determine the crystal structure of a new material that may have nanoscale size or heterogeneities. Here we…

The effect of thermal shape fluctuations on the recurrent fluorescence of boron cluster cations, B$_N^+$ ($N=9-14$), has been investigated numerically, with a special emphasis on B$_{13}^+$. For this cluster, the electronic structures of…
Diffusion-limited cluster aggregation (DLCA) is a well established model for the formation of highly porous low-density non-equilibrium structures. One of the main conclusions of the previous studies considering this model is that the…
