Abstract
Configurational excitation of clusters is given explicit expression in terms of specific structures and the potential surface describing them. These are then related to the phases and phase changes of clusters., both structural changes and solid-liquid changes. The chapter discusses and compares microcanonical and canonical ensembles.
