ShareIrregular variations in the melting point of size-selected atomic clusters.
Author(s) : SCHMIDT M., KUSCHE R., ISSENDORFF B. von, HABERLAND H.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The authors study ionized sodium clusters containing 70 to 200 atoms. The melting points of these clusters are on average 33% (120 K) lower than the bulk material; furthermore, they observe surprisingly large variations in the melting point (of plus or minus 30 K) with changing cluster size, rather than any gradual trend. These variations cannot yet be fully explained theoretically.
