We analyze the structure diagram for binary clusters of Lennard-Jones particles by means of a global optimization approach for a large range of cluster sizes, compositions and interaction energies and present a publicly accessible database…

Self-assembled arrays of atomic chains on Si(111) represent a fascinating family of nanostructures with quasi-one-dimensional electronic properties. These surface reconstructions are stabilized by a variety of adsorbates ranging from alkali…

Density functional and quantum Monte Carlo calculations challenge the existence of a unique ground state structure for certain Si clusters. For Si clusters with more than a dozen atoms the lowest ten isomers are close in energy and for some…

It is a well-known fact that a cluster of nucleons can be formed in the interior of an atomic nucleus, and such clusters may occupy molecular-like orbitals, showing characteristics similar to normal molecules consisting of atoms. Chemical…

We study the relationship between local structural ordering and dynamical heterogeneities in a model glass-forming liquid, the Wahnstrom mixture. A novel cluster-based approach is used to detect local energy minimum polyhedral clusters and…

Under irradiation, SiC develops damage commonly referred to as black spot defects, which are speculated to be self-interstitial atom clusters. To understand the evolution of these defect clusters and their impacts (e.g., through radiation…

The basic physical parameters of a poorly studied open cluster NGC 110 and an unstudied open cluster DOLIDZE 14 are estimated in the present study using the archival PPMXL and WISE catalogues. The radius of both the clusters are estimated…

We present ab-initio calculations of the electronic structure of small Fe clusters (1-9 atoms) on Ni(001), Ni(111), Cu(001) and Cu(111) surfaces. Emphasis is given on the spin moments, and their dependence on cluster size and shape. We…

The sample of known star clusters, the fundamental building blocks of galaxies, in the Milky Way is still extremely incomplete for objects beyond a distance of 1-2kpc. Many of the more distant and young clusters are compact and hidden…

Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate a family of stable two-dimensional crystals with chemical formula $A_2B_2$, where $A$ and $B$ belong to groups IV and V, respectively ($A$ = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb;…

Silicon is the undisputed cornerstone of modern technology, with applications ranging from micro- and opto-electronics to quantum technologies. Recently, the exploration of its allotropes has emerged as a pivotal frontier for engineering…

Defect qubits in 4H-SiC are outstanding candidates for numerous applications in the rapidly emerging field of quantum technology. Carbon clusters can act as emission sources that may appear after thermal oxidation of 4H-SiC or during…

In this work we present preliminary results concerning the properties of about 50 clusters and associations located in a densely populated region at the Southern edge of the supershell LMC~4. The ages of the clusters and associations are…

In the search for evidence of silicene, a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of silicon, it is important to obtain a complete picture for the evolution of Si structures on Ag(111), which is believed to be the most suitable substrate for…

We investigate the subgroup structure of the hyperoctahedral group in six dimensions. In particular, we study the subgroups isomorphic to the icosahedral group. We classify the orthogonal crystallographic representations of the icosahedral…

We investigate the structural properties of nuclear star clusters in late-type spiral galaxies. More specifically, we fit analytical models to HST images of 39 nuclear clusters in order to determine their effective radii after correction…

We report on the production of ordered assemblies of silicon nanostructures by means of irradiation of a Si(100) substrate with 1.2 keV Ar ions at normal incidence. Atomic Force and High-Resolution Transmission Electron microscopies show…

We investigate the band structure and topological phases of silicene embedded on halogenated Si(111) surface, by virtue of density functional theory and tight-binding calculations.Our results show that the Dirac character of low energy…

Within our fission model, the Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM) cluster formation probabilities are calculated for different clusters ranging from carbon to silicon for the parents in the trans-tin and trans- lead regions. It is…

Density functional calculations were performed to systematically study a series of finite and infinite cluster-assembled silicon nanotubes (SiNTs). One-dimensional SiNTs can be prepared by proper assembly of hydrogenated cage-like silicon…
