TY - JOUR AU - Teitel’baum, G. AB - Kawazoe, Y., Kondow, T., Ohno, K. (eds.): Clusters and Nanomaterials: Theory a¡ Experiment (Springer Series in Cluster Physics). XV, 345 pp. Springer, Ber- lin Heidelberg New York Tokyo 2002. Hardcover EUR 60.95 (excl. VAT) The book starts with a brief introduction written by the editors. They outlined important contributions of cluster science to basic science and the role of clus- ter science in applications, the crucial role of cluster science in the progress of nanotechnology. The book consists of four parts: "Metallic Clusters", "Organic Molecules", "Fullerenes and Nanotubes", "Theory and Computer Simulation". Part 1, "Metallic Clusters". The results concerning metal clusters and obtained by means of ab initio calculations are extensively reviewed in Chapter 2 by V. Kumar, K. Esfarjani, and u Kawazoe. The experimental data on the stability of multiply charged transition metal clusters are discussed in Chapter 3 by N. Sai- to, K. Koyama, and M. Tanimoto, who measured the mass spectrum of mutti- ionized transition-metal (V, Nb and Ta) clusters. Part 2, "Organic Molecules". In Chapter 4, M. Ichihashi, R. T. Yadav, and T. Kondow discuss adsorption of methanol molecules on Ni, + (n = 2-6) at col- lision energies less than 1.0 eV in the TI - Book Reviews JF - Applied Magnetic Resonance DO - 10.1007/BF03166665 DA - 2003-06-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/book-reviews-NONdgJiDX0 SP - 255 EP - 257 VL - 24 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
