Journal ArticleDOI

Calorimetric observation of the melting of free water nanoparticles at cryogenic temperatures.

TL;DR: At the transition temperature the heat capacity strongly increases, which marks the onset of melting, and the measured caloric curves of the clusters are bulklike at low temperatures but show a well-defined, particle-size specific transition at 93+/-3 K.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing the angular momentum character of the valence orbitals of free sodium nanoclusters.

TL;DR: Well-defined classes of energy dependence related to the approximate angular momenta of the bound-state orbitals indicate that the overall character of the valence electron wave functions is not appreciably influenced by the interaction with the ion background.
Journal ArticleDOI

NO Vibrational Energy Transfer on a Metal Surface: Still a Challenge to First-Principles Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of recently reported experiments characterizing the multiquantum vibrational relaxation of NO on Au(111) for a wider range of incidence translational and vibrational energies to independent electron surface hopping (IESH) and molecular dynamics with electronic friction (MDEF) calculations for these conditions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Premelting and postmelting in clusters.

TL;DR: Caloric curves for sodium clusters with N=139 and 147 atoms show a fine structure near the solid-to-liquid transition, but neither of the two sizes exhibit surface melting.
