Abstract

A brief review is presented on various properties of small atomic clusters of different elements. Experimental measurements and theoretical explanation of abundance spectra, stability of multiply-charged clusters, magnetic properties, reactivity studies on clusters, and vibrational studies are discussed. A brief account of the ab-initio theoretical method based on local density-functional theory and Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics method used for calculating groundstate electronic properties of clusters are presented.
