Electronic Entropy, Shell Structure, and Size-Evolutionary Patterns of Metal Clusters


Electronic Entropy, Shell Structure, and Size-Evolutionary Patterns of Metal Clusters is a scholarly work, published in 1997 in ''Physical Review Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include ice nucleus, electronic structure, density functional theory, materials informatics industry, materials science, shell, statistical physics, and condensed matter physics. The authors show that electronic-entropy effects in the size-evolutionary patterns of\nrelatively small (as small as 20 atoms), simple-metal clusters become prominent\nalready at moderate temperatures.
