Closed-cage tungsten oxide clusters in the gas phase.
During the course of a study on the clustering of W-Se and W-S mixtures in the gas phase using laser desorption ionization (LDI) mass spectrometry, we observed several anionic W-O clusters. Three distinct species, W(6)O(19)(-), W(13)O(29)(-), and W(14)O(32)(-), stand out as intense peaks in the regular mass spectral pattern of tungsten oxide clusters suggesting unusual stabilities for them. Mor...
متن کاملNovel cage clusters of MoS2 in the gas phase.
Laser evaporation of MoS(2) nanoflakes gives negatively charged magic number clusters of compositions Mo(13)S(25) and Mo(13)S(28), which are shown to have closed-cage structures. The clusters are stable and do not show fragmentation in the post-source decay analysis even at the highest laser powers. Computations suggest that Mo(13)S(25) has a central cavity with a diameter of 4.5 A. The nanoshe...
متن کاملAppearance of bulk properties in small tungsten oxide clusters.
Contrary to the conventional understanding that atomic clusters usually differ in properties and structure from the bulk constituents of which they are comprised, we show that even a dimer of tungsten oxide (WO(3))(2) possesses bulklike features and the geometry of a small cluster containing only 4 tungsten and 12 oxygen atoms bears the hallmarks of crystalline tungsten oxide, WO(3). This obser...
متن کاملNUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE PHASE TRANSITIONS IN CLUSTERS
We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer. The results are analyzed by simulating their orientational distribution plots (dot-plot), and neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that all the main features of the bulk phase transitions are e...
متن کاملProperties of Ir 4 Clusters in the Gas Phase and on Oxide Substrates THÈSE
Results of a theoretical study on the properties of Ir4 clusters in the gas–phase and on oxide surfaces are presented. The work is based on density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and ultrasoft pseudopotentials. Properties of a small particle such as Ir4 cluster are entirely determined by its geometry. The already known result that the most stable for...
