Building clusters atom-by-atom: from local order to global order.
We have carried out extensive density functional calculations for series of sodium clusters NaN ranging from N = 10 to 147 and have obtained approximately 13000 distinct isomers. We unravel a number of striking features of the growth characteristics. The growth shows an order-disorder-order pattern of cyclic nature. Between two ordered clusters, the growth proceeds via disordered clusters havin...
متن کاملHigh-order harmonic generation in atom clusters.
We report the generation of short-wavelength, high-order harmonics of intense laser radiation from atom clusters. Clusters containing about 10 3 atoms are produced in a high-pressure gas jet. We show them to be a unique nonlinear medium. Compared with monomer gases they yield a higher appearance intensity for a given harmonic order, stronger nonlinear dependence of harmonic signal on laser inte...
متن کاملBuilding semiconductor nanostructures atom by atom
We present an atomistic tight-binding approach to calculating the electronic structure of semiconductor nanostructures. We start by deriving the strain distribution in the structure using the valence force field model. The strain field is incorporated into the tight-binding electronic structure calculation carried out in the frame of the effective bond orbital model and the fully atomistic sp3d...
متن کاملFirst-Order Atom Definitions Extended
We extend the notion of atom definitions in first-order formulae by guards. These are conditions restricting the atom definition in a form that frequently occurs in many application areas of automated theorem proving. We give a sufficient and complete criterion for a formula to contain such a definition and provide an effective algorithm to actually retrieve the definition in an applicable form...
متن کاملA journey from order to disorder — Atom by atom transformation from graphene to a 2D carbon glass
One of the most interesting questions in solid state theory is the structure of glass, which has eluded researchers since the early 1900's. Since then, two competing models, the random network theory and the crystallite theory, have both gathered experimental support. Here, we present a direct, atomic-level structural analysis during a crystal-to-glass transformation, including all intermediate...
