XGXiaoyi Guan WGWenyu Gao MNMin-Kook Nah

Key Points

This research examines how the size of nanoclusters affects their properties and the interactions among atoms within them.
Utilized gas-phase condensation technique to create nanoclusters
Analyzed the morphology and defects of various sized nanoclusters
Investigated atom-atom interactions based on cluster size
Smaller nanoclusters showed distinct morphology compared to larger ones
Size influences the type and number of defects present in nanoclusters
Significant atom-atom interactions were observed to vary with cluster size

Abstract

The study of nanoclusters has provided invaluable insights into the interactions among small assemblies of atoms, where their size encapsulates vital information about atom-atom synergies that govern morphology, defects, and...
