We study deposition dynamics of Na and Na$_2$ on an Ar substrate, both species neutral as well as charged. The system is modeled by a hierarchical approach describing the Na valence electrons by time-dependent density-functional theory…
We investigate the dynamics of Na clusters embedded in Ar matrices. We use a hierarchical approach, accounting microscopically for the cluster's degrees of freedom and more coarsely for the matrix. The dynamical polarizability of the Ar…
Using a combined quantum mechanical/classical method, we study the dynamics of deposition of small Na clusters on Ar(001) surface. We work out basic mechanisms by systematic variation of substrate activity, impact energy, cluster…
We present recent theoretical investigations on the dynamics of metal clusters in contact with an environment, deposited of embedded. This concerns soft deposition as well as irradiation of the deposited/embedded clusters by intense laser…
We discuss the dynamical deposition of the Na atom, the Na$^+$ in and the Na$_6$ cluster on finite Ar clusters mocking up an infinite Ar surface. We analyze this scenario as a function of projectile initial kinetic energy and of the size…
The static electric dipole polarizability of $\mathrm{Na_N}$ clusters with even N has been calculated in a collective, axially averaged and a three-dimensional, finite-field approach for $2\le N \le 20$, including the ionic structure of the…
Using a combined quantum mechanical/classical method, we study the collisions of small Na clusters on large Ar clusters as a model for cluster deposit. We work out basic mechanisms by systematic variation of collision energy, system sizes,…
The electrostatic interaction between metal spheres is an influential component in the assembly of many nanoscale materials in chemistry. Here we derive a method to calculate the energy and polarizations of metal spheres in arbitrary…
We theoretically investigate the properties of highly polar diatomic molecules containing $^2S$-state transition-metal atoms. We calculate potential energy curves, permanent electric dipole moments, spectroscopic constants, and leading…
We discuss the structural properties and optical response of a small Na cluster inside rare gas (RG) matrices of Ne, Ar, or Kr atoms. The mixed systems are described with a hierarchical model, treating the cluster at a quantum mechanical…
We investigate the dynamics of deposition of small Na clusters on MgO(001) surface. A hierarchical modeling is used combining Quantum Mechanical with Molecular Mechanical (QM/MM) description. Full time-dependent density-functional theory is…
The binding of clusters of metal nanoparticles is partly electrostatic. We address difficulties in calculating the electrostatic energy when high charging energies limit the total charge to a single quantum, entailing unequal potentials on…
Neutral alkali clusters efficiently capture low-energy electrons with the aid of long-range polarization attraction. Upon attachment, the electron affinity and kinetic energy are dissipated into vibrations, heating the cluster and…
We present analysis of a system of three two-level atoms interacting with each other through the dipole-dipole interaction. The interaction manifests between excited state of one of the atoms and the ground state of its nearest neighbour.…
The interaction of intense laser fields with silver and argon clusters is investigated theoretically using a modified nanoplasma model. Single pulse and double pulse excitations are considered. The influence of the dense cluster environment…
We present a microscopic model for Na clusters embedded in raregas matrices. The valence electrons of the Na cluster are described by time-dependent density-functional theory at the level of the local-density approximation (LDA). Particular…
A toroidal dipole represents an often overlooked electromagnetic excitation distinct from the standard electric and magnetic multipole expansion. We show how a simple arrangement of strongly radiatively coupled atoms can be used to…
We study a simple model consisting of an atomic ion and a polar molecule trapped in a single setup, taking into consideration their electrostatic interaction. We determine analytically their collective modes of excitation as a function of…
The thermal expansion coefficients of $\mathrm{Na}_{N}$ clusters with $8 \le N \le 40$ and $\mathrm{Al}_{7}$, $\mathrm{Al}_{13}^-$ and $\mathrm{Al}_{14}^-$ are obtained from {\it ab initio} Born-Oppenheimer LDA molecular dynamics. Thermal…
We investigate the dynamical evolution of a Na$_8$ cluster embedded in Ar matrices of various sizes from N=30 to 1048. The system is excited by an intense short laser pulse leading to high ionization stages. We analyze the subsequent highly…
