Abstract
Structural, electronic, dynamic and chemical characteristics of materials depend primarily on the state (phase) and degree (size) of aggregation. Small clusters often exhibit unique physical and chemical phenomena, of both fundamental and technological significance, and provide the opportunity for exploration of the transition from molecular to condensed matter systems. Particularly, investigations of the correlations between physical properties and degree of aggregation allow elucidation of the development of collective phenomena responsible for phase transformations1,2 (such as nucleation, melting, and structural transitions), studies of the excitation dynamics and the kinetics of reactive processes3,4 (such as fragmentation) and of the energetics and dynamics of electron attachment,5,6 solvation phenomena7 and physical processes induced by electron attachment.
