Optical absorption and shape transition in neutral Sn clusters with ≤ 40: a photodissociation spectroscopy and electric beam deflection study.

Neutral Sn clusters with = 6-20, 25, 30, 40 are investigated in a joint experimental and quantum chemical study with the aim to reveal their optical absorption in conjunction with their structural evolution. Electric beam deflection and photodissociation spectroscopy are applied as molecular beam techniques at nozzle temperatures of 16 K, 32 K and 300 K. The dielectric response is probed following the approach in S.

Local coordination numbers of up to 19 in gadolinium-tin alloy nanoclusters.

A combined approach based on quantum-chemical calculations and molecular beam experiments demonstrates that in isolated nanoalloy clusters of type GdSn, a total number of N = 19 tin atoms can be arranged around a central gadolinium atom. While the formation of the first coordination shell is incomplete for clusters with less than 15 tin atoms, the second coordination sphere starts to form for cluster sizes of more than 20 tin atoms. The magnetic properties of the clusters reveal that the tin atoms not only provide a hollow cage for Gd but also are chemically bound to the central atom.

Optical Absorption of Atomically-Precise Sn Nanoclusters: The Antagonistic Interplay of Ligand Stabilization, Molecular Symmetry, and Solvatochromism.

The synthesis of atomically precise clusters is nowadays well established. The study of isolated clusters in the gas phase has also become an approved field of research. Although both approaches examine the same research objects, namely nanoclusters, little is known about to what extent results from gas phase studies can be transferred to colloidal systems and vice versa.

Doping effects on the geometric and electronic structure of tin clusters.

Molecular beam electric deflection experiments on neutral single copper-doped tin clusters are presented at different cryogenic nozzle temperatures. The experimental cluster beam profiles SnCu (N = 9-16) are compared with classical rotational dynamic simulations of globally optimized structures obtained by a genetic algorithm based on density functional theory. The formation of endohedral complexes with comparable geometry to manganese- and gold-doped tin is confirmed.

Gold doping of tin clusters: exo- vs. endohedral complexes.

We present molecular beam electric deflection experiments on neutral gold-doped tin clusters. The experimental SnAu (N = 6-16) cluster beam profiles are interpreted by means of classical trajectory simulations supplied, with cluster structures generated by a genetic algorithm based on density functional theory. The combined experimental and theoretical analysis confirms that at least nine tin atoms are necessary to form a cage that is capable of encapsulating a gold atom, with high symmetry only marginally distorted by the gold atom.

N-Doping at the Sub-Nanoscale: Dielectric and Magnetic Response of Neutral Phosphorus-Doped Tin Clusters.

Doped semiconductors play a prevalent role in all aspects of modern technology. Because of the trend for smaller and smaller devices, we have investigated N-doping at the sub-nanoscale. For that purpose, we present molecular beam electric and magnetic deflection experiments on Sn P ( N = 6-12) and Sn P ( N = 7-12) clusters combined with quantum chemical calculations and classical beam deflection simulations.

miRGen 2.0: a database of microRNA genomic information and regulation.

MicroRNAs are small, non-protein coding RNA molecules known to regulate the expression of genes by binding to the 3'UTR region of mRNAs. MicroRNAs are produced from longer transcripts which can code for more than one mature miRNAs. miRGen 2.
