Photoabsorption spectra of small HgN clusters (N = 2-5) have been calculated using a diatomics-in-molecules interaction model and an atoms-in-molecules approach for transition probability calculations. Absorption cross-sections are provided over a broad range of photon energies, Ephot = 4.0-7.5 eV, as calculated for various cluster temperatures ranging between T = 0 K and T = 40 K. Quantum as well as temperature-induced delocalization of nuclear positions has been taken into account at various levels using classical and quantum (path-integral) Monte Carlo methods as well as sampling from the square of cluster vibrational ground-state wavefunctions. A thorough comparison of the calculated data with available experimental records is also provided.

The fact that the photoabsorption spectrum of a material contains information about the atomic structure, commonly understood in terms of multiple scattering theory, is the basis of the popular extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS) technique. How much of the same structural information is present in other complementary spectroscopic signals is not obvious. Here we use a machine learning approach to demonstrate that within theoretical models that accurately predict the EXAFS signal, the extended near-edge region does indeed contain the EXAFS-accessible structural information.

Cationic sodium (Na) clusters incorporated into a dehydrated Na-form LTA (Na-LTA) zeolite by the adsorption of Na atoms exhibit diamagnetism regardless of their adsorption amount. These clusters preferentially form in β-cages under the condition of dilute adsorption. In this study, photochromism was observed on the dilute Na-adsorbed Na-LTA, which showed a color change from yellow-green to dark blue-green at room temperature.

Assessing the accuracy of first-principles computational approaches is instrumental to predict electronic excitations in metal nanoclusters with quantitative confidence. Here we describe a validation study on the optical response of a set of monolayer-protected clusters (MPC). The photoabsorption spectra of Ag(DMBT), AgPt(DMBT) and AuPt(SCH), where DMBT is 2,4-dimethylbenzenethiolate and SCH is -butylthiolate, have been obtained at low temperature and compared with accurate TDDFT calculations.

"Tin-oxo cage" organometallic compounds are considered as photoresists for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography. To gain insight into their electronic structure and reactivity to ionizing radiation, we trapped bare gas-phase -butyltin-oxo cage dications [(BuSn)O(OH)] in an ion trap and investigated their fragmentation upon soft X-ray photoabsorption by means of mass spectrometry. In complementary experiments, the tin-oxo cages with hydroxide and trifluoroacetate counter-anions were cast in thin films and studied using X-ray transmission spectroscopy.
