    Phases and Phase Changes of Clusters

    Phase-like forms are expected to be observable for many kinds of clusters, insofar as they should satisfy criteria used to characterize phases of bulk form. However clusters are also expected to exhibit phase-...

    Topographies and Dynamics of Many-Dimensional Potential Surfaces

    Multidimensional potential surfaces pose a variety of problems, not least of which is that it is now possible to obtain more information about the minima and other stationary points of such surfaces than we kn...

    Probing The Collective and Independent-Particle Character of Atomic Electrons

    Niels Bohr and Arnold Sommerfeld developed their model of the hydrogen atom and other one-electron atoms based on the concepts of discrete, stationary states and quantized energies and angular momenta of these...

    Pseudomolecular Electron Correlation in Atoms

    The D-dimensional scaling properties of the three-body Coulomb problem in atomic and molecular physics have been discussed in part 1 of this volume. Here we examine some new features of the adiabatic molecular...

    How We and Molecules Explore Molecular Landscapes

    The multidimensional potential surfaces of clusters and polyatomic molecules can now be mapped by efficient techniques for finding minima and saddle points and, from them, “reaction paths”. How the geometry an...
