The cluster science is concerned with the properties of materials on the nano-metre scale. This book addresses both fundamental and practical aspects of the physics and chemistry of a novel state of matter, namely clusters of small numbers of atoms of nanometre scale. It brings together work on both free clusters and those deposited on surfaces.
