Lattice dynamics of noble and transition metals

Surface-state electron dynamics in noble metals

Theoretical investigations of surface-state electron dynamics in noble metals are reported. The dynamically screened interaction is computed, within many-body theory, by going beyond a free-electron description of the metal surface. Calculations of the inelastic linewidth of Shockley surface-state electrons and holes in these materials are also presented. While the linewidth of excited holes at...

Noble metals in oncology

Worldwide research groups are searching for anticancer compounds, many of them are organometalic complexes having platinum group metals as their active centers. Most commonly used cytostatics from this group are cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin. Cisplatin was used fot the first time in 1978, from this time many platinum derivatives were created. In this review we present biological proper...

Effective Interionic Potentials and Properties of Molten Noble and Transition Metals

Recent X-ray diffraction data on molten noble and transition metals have been used to calculate effective interionic potentials by means of the Born-Green equation. The results on the noble metals are compared with the generalized pseudopotential calculations of Moriarty. In all cases the potentions were found to be insensitive to temperature and to have long-range oscillations. The results sug...
