Barriers and Deformation in Fission of Charged Metal Clusters
The influence of electronic shell effects on the barriers and channels pertaining to metal-cluster fission is studied using a shell correction method in connection with an asymmetric two-center-oscillator model potential. This approach has the advantage that the ensuing shape parametrization allows for an independent variation of the deformations of parent and daughter clusters. Results for bot...
متن کاملMagnetism of Small Transition-metal Clusters and Effects of Isomerization
We investigate the magnetic properties of small transition-metal clusters using a simple statistical model, which requires some input data from ab-initio spin-density-functional calculations. In our study, we consider a thermodynamically equilibrated ensemble of clusters with different structures, spin multiplicities, and ground-state energies. We calculate the physical properties of this syste...
متن کاملSurface and bulk melting of small metal clusters
We present an analytical solution to the two-parabola Landau model, applied to melting of metal particles with sizes in the nanoscale range. The results provide an analytical understanding of the recently observed pseudo-crystalline phase of nanoscale Sn particles. Liquid skin formation as a precursor of melting is found to occur only for particles with radii, greater than an explicitly given c...
متن کاملCollectivity in the optical response of small metal clusters
The question whether the linear absorption spectra of metal clusters can be interpreted as density oscillations (collective “plasmons”) or can only be understood as transitions between distinct molecular states is still a matter of debate for clusters with only a few electrons. We calculate the photoabsorption spectra of Na2 and Na5 comparing two different methods: quantum fluid-dynamics and ti...
متن کاملOrigin of size dependency in coherent-twin-propagation-mediated tensile deformation of noble metal nanowires.
Researchers have recently discovered ultrastrong and ductile behavior of Au nanowires (NWs) through long-ranged coherent-twin-propagation. An elusive but fundamentally important question arises whether the size and surface effects impact the twin propagation behavior with a decreasing diameter. In this work, we demonstrate size-dependent strength behavior of ultrastrong and ductile metallic NWs...
