DURIP 99 - Ultrafast Laser Dynamics: Exploring the Formation and Properties of Cluster Materials

摘要

The studies devoted to chemical dynamics yielded direct information on the reactive properties of the clusters and provided further information on developing methods for the production of building blocks having the desired stoichiometry, size and properties. In addition, the work provided insights into the electronic properties which influence the stability of cluster assembled materials that may function as catalysts for selected reactions, or be resistant to chemical attack for other applications.
