چکیده

The Xe 5s photoelectron spectrum and 5p(4)nl correlation satellites have been studied in small Xe clusters of an average size of about 15 atoms. The satellite structures are interpreted with the help of the atomic Xe lines. Transition energy shifts between the atomic and the corner/edge/face/bulk components in clusters are divided into polarization screening and exchange interaction energy. Interestingly enough, the ratios between corner/edge/face/bulk polarization screening and exchange interaction energies are found to reflect the ratios of the coordination numbers of corner/edge/face/bulk atoms in these small icosahedral cluster structures.

Satellite lines in the 5s-5p photoelectron spectrum of xenon

2014 ACO synchrotron radiation has been used to obtain photoelectron spectra of the outer shell of xenon in the 75-100 electron volts energy range. Satellite peaks corresponding to the formation of excited ionic states have been observed, in addition to the main peaks corresponding to the production of the 5s2 5p5 2P and 5s 5p6 2S states of Xe+. A comparison is presented of the intensities of t...

Investigation of structural and electronic properties of small Au n Cu m (n+m≤5) nano-clusters for Oxygen adsorption

In this study, the structures, the IR spectroscopy, and the electronic properties of AunCum (n+m≤5) bimetallic clusters were studied and compared with those of pure gold and copper clusters using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and exchange correlation density functional theory (DFT). The study of an O2-AunCum system is important to identify the promotion effects of each of the two...

Synthesis and Characterization of α-Fe2O3 Nanoparticles by Simple Co-Precipitation Method

In the past decade, magnetic nanomaterials have attracted much attention due to their physical properties and technological applications. In this work, α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were first synthesized via a simple co-precipitation method using iron chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3.6H2O) as precursor and ammonia solution as precipitator. The samples we...

Photoabsorption spectra of small cationic xenon clusters from time-dependent density functional theory.

Upon ionization, rare-gas (like Ar and Xe) clusters shift their absorption spectrum from the ultraviolet to the visible. This happens as bonding becomes much stronger due to the removal of an electron from a strongly antibonding orbital. In this article, we study the absorption spectrum of small cationic xenon clusters (Xe(n) (+), with n=3,...,35) by means of time-dependent density functional t...
