The formation of weakly bound clusters in the hot and dense environment at midrapidity is one of the surprising phenomena observed experimentally in heavy-ion collisions from a low center of mass energy of a few GeV up to a…

Stability of 248-254^Cf nuclei against alpha and cluster emission is studied within our Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM). It is found that these nuclei are stable against light clusters (except alpha particle) and instable…

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…

Transition metal clusters have a broad spectrum of potential applications in electronic and magnetic devices owing to their unique properties. Protective shells such as fullerene C$_{80}$ can be introduced to improve their stability. In…

We present a paradigm in constructing very stable, faceted nanotube and fullerene structures by laterally joining nanoribbons or patches of different planar phosphorene phases. Our ab initio density functional calculations indicate that…

An intriguing phenomenon displayed by granular flows and predicted by kinetic-theory-based models is the instability known as particle "clustering," which refers to the tendency of dissipative grains to form transient, loose regions of…

Two-dimensional (2D) materials can be used as stabilizing templates for exotic nanostructures, including pore-stabilized, free-standing patches of elemental metal monolayers. Although these patches represent metal clusters under extreme…

Stability and charge states of vacancy in Si$_{29}$ and Si$_{38}$ clusters have been calculated by non-conventional tight-binding method and molecular dynamics. Based on the theoretical calculations, it was shown that the vacancy in pure…

We find that three nonstoichiometric cubic binary chromium chalcogenides, namely Cr3S4, Cr3Se4, and Cr3Te4, are stable half-metallic ferromagnets with wide half-metallic gaps on the basis of systematic state-of-the-arts first-principles…

Graphene clusters consisting of 24 to 150 carbon atoms and hydrogen termination at the zigzag boundary edges have been studied, as well as clusters disordered by vacancy(s). Density Function Theory and Gaussian03 software were used to…

We show through rigorous calculations that dielectric microspheres can be organized by an incident electromagnetic plane wave into stable cluster configurations, which we call photonic molecules. The long-range optical binding force arises…

For several decades, globular clusters have been considered the best example of simple stellar populations, hosting coeval and chemical homogeneous stars. The last decade of spectroscopic and photometric studies has revealed a more complex…

We report the infrared spectrum of H$_2$C$_4$-(OCS)$_2$ trimer in the region of the nu1 fundamental vibration of the OCS monomer. The van der Waals complexes are generated in a supersonic slit-jet apparatus and probed using a rapid-scan…

We examine the structure and dynamics of small isolated $N$-particle clusters interacting via short-ranged Morse potentials. "Ideally preprared ensembles" obtained via exact enumeration studies of sticky hard sphere packings serve as…

The absence of large cooling flows in cool core clusters appears to require self-regulated energy feedback by active galactic nuclei (AGNs) but the exact heating mechanism has not yet been identified. Here, we analyse whether a combination…

Superconducting behavior even under harsh ambient conditions is expected to occur in La@C(60) if it could be isolated from the primary metallofullerene soot when functionalized by CF(3) radicals. We use ab initio density functional theory…

We investigate the stability of bounded self-gravitating systems in the canonical ensemble by using a thermodynamical approach. Our study extends the earlier work of Padmanabhan [Astrophys. J. Supp. 71, 651 (1989)] in the microcanonical…

The ground state of a two-dimensional, harmonically confined mesoscopic assembly of up to thirty polar molecules is studied by computer simulations. As the strength of the confining trap is increased, clusters evolve from superfluid, to…

In the present work, the low-lying structures of 20 different-sized water clusters are extensively searched using the artificial bee colony algorithm with TIP4P classical force field. To obtain the lowest equilibrium geometries, we select…

Using the embedded-atom method, the structure of small copper clusters on Au(111) electrodes has been investigated both by static and dynamic calculations. By varying the size of roughly circular clusters, the edge energy per atom is…
