TL;DR: Similar mass spectra and atomic structures in CdS, CdTe, ZnS and ZnSe are found, demonstrating that mass-specified and macroscopically produced nanoparticles, which have been practically limited so far to elemental carbon1, can now be extended to a vast variety of compound systems.

TL;DR: Metal-encapsulated caged clusters of silicon from ab initio pseudopotential plane wave calculations using generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation energy are reported, making them attractive for cluster-assembled materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of CaTiO3 phosphors doped with trivalent europium (Eu3+) and codoped with potassium (K+) ions were prepared by the solid state reaction method and X-ray diffraction results revealed that the obtained powder phosphors consisted out of a single-phase orthorhombic structure and it also indicated that the incorporation of the dopants/co-dopants did not affect the crystal structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of transition metal atoms and dimers with a single-walled armchair carbon nanotube has been investigated by first-principles density functional calculations.

TL;DR: It is shown that the stability of the ${\mathrm{Al}}_{13}$ cluster can be substantially enhanced by proper doping and the most strongly bound in this family.
