UPS of negative aluminum clusters
TLDR
In this article, negative aluminum clusters in the size range of 3-32 atoms were used for ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and the electron affinities (EA) of the neutral clusters were peaked at cluster sizes of 6, 13, 19, and 23.About:

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of coinage metal clusters
TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical electron affinity (EA) of negative clusters of copper (1 −411 atoms), silver ( 1 −60 atoms), and gold (1−233 atoms) was estimated using photodetachment lasers at 6.4 and 7.9 eV photon energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cluster size effects
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the physical and chemical consequences of clusters, including their large surface/volume ratio and the size dependence of the properties of large finite systems, using cluster size equations (CSEs).

Evolution of the electronic structure and properties of neutral and charged aluminum clusters: A comprehensive analysis
B. K. Rao,Puru Jena +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the global equilibrium geometries and electronic structure of neutral, cationic, and anionic aluminum clusters containing up to 15 atoms were calculated using density-functional theory with generalized gradient approximation for the exchange correlation potential.

Structures and stabilities of Aln+, Aln, and Aln− (n=13–34) clusters
Andrés Aguado,José Manuel López +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that icosahedral growth dominates the structures of aluminum clusters for n=13-22 and n=23-34, and there is no evidence yet for a clear establishment of the fcc atomic packing prevalent in bulk aluminum.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mass spectra for sodium clusters of $N$ atoms per cluster, produced in a supersonic expansion with argon carrier gas, is presented. The spectra show large peaks or steps at $N=8, 20, 40, 58, \mathrm{and} 92$.

Ellipsoidal shell structure in free-electron metal clusters
TL;DR: The possibility of ellipsoidal distortions in free-electron metal clusters, analogous to the shape variations among atomic nuclei, was investigated with the use of a modified Nilsson Hamiltonian as discussed by the authors.

UPS of Buckminsterfullerene and other large clusters of carbon
TL;DR: In this article, a mass-selected negative carbon clusters extracted from a pulsed supersonic beam are reported for the UPS data and electronic structure calculations strongly support the spheroidal shell model for C 60.

Electronic Shell Structure and Metal Clusters
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review on the electronic shell model, which is elegant and simple, avoids the complexity of elaborate quantum chemical computer calculations for clusters containing large numbers of atoms, and possesses the power of predictability.

UPS of 2–30-atom carbon clusters: Chains and rings
Shihe Yang,K. J. Taylor,M.J. Craycraft,J. Conceicao,C.L. Pettiette,Ori Cheshnovsky,Richard E. Smalley +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, negative carbon clusters are reported in the size range from 2 through 29 atoms, with even-numbered chains having open shell electronic structures with high electron affinity, the odd chains having closed shell singlet ground states (for the neutral) and substantially lower electron affinity.
