摘要: The special advantages and characteristic limitations of molecular clusters in investigations the properties condensed phases are evaluated. Clusters naturally lend themselves to exploration (1) possible ways molecules can pack while undergoing various degrees thermal agitation, (2) cooperative behavior transitions between phases. be studied experimentally, expanding supersonic jets, or computationally, dynamics simulations. Of particular interest polyatomic because their structural diversity is much richer than that atomic clusters. Novel not seen bulk have been generated, explained. Extraordinarily rapid nucleation rates observed at extremely high supercoolings attained. Interfacial free energies boundaries liquid solid inferred. versatile effective model systems great promise research on matter.
