Informationen zum Autor Walter Ekardt is the author of Metal Clusters, published by Wiley. Klappentext Metal Clusters Edited by Walter Ekardt Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Berlin, Germany The current state of knowledge on these aggregated metal atoms, including both the fundamental principles and recent results, is presented here in a comprehensive form. Emphasis is placed on the theory linking it to the latest experimental results. Topics covered include: The Jellium Model; The Quantum Chemical Approach; Density Functional Theory and Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics; Dissociation, Fragmentation and Fission; Optical and Thermal Properties of Sodium Clusters; and Magnetic Properties of Transition Metal Clusters. Metal Clusters is set to become the standard reference work in this mature field and will be invaluable for all researchers in a broad range of disciplines from theoretical chemistry to condensed matter physics and materials science. Zusammenfassung On the premise that the study of metal clusters has now reached a level of maturity where no major breakthroughs or spectacular new results are expected in the foreseeable future, this book, therefore, reviews the late-1990s state of knowledge of the subject.
