The structure and energetics of stoichiometric (NaCl)n, 1 ~< n ~< 4, clusters, and of halide-deficient clusters in the sequence Na4Clm, 0 ~< m ~< 3, are studied using local-spin-density functional calculations, with and without exchange-correlation gradient corrections. The energy optimized structur

β¦ Synopsis
Electron attachment and localization to ammonia clusters, (NHs); (n= 16-256), is studied using path-integral molecular simulations, employing an electron-molecule pseudopotential which includes Coulomb, polarization, exclusion and exchange contributions. Due to the nature of the interactions the ammonia clusters do not form stable well-bound surface states for any size, in contrast to medium-size water clusters. The onset of bound excess electron states in ammonia clusters occurs for n> 32, via an internal localization mode, in agreement with experiment.

The energy V, of conduction electrons in helium gas was measured by photoinjection up to a density of 3.6X 102' atoms/cm' and analysed together with results by Broomall, Johnson and Onn obtained for higher densities, including the liquid phase. The data could be well approximated by the model of Spr
We report the observation of the ultrafast relaxation of a quasifree electron to the localized excess electron state in water. Quasifree electrons were generated by photoionization of aqueous ferrocyanide solutions by the fourth harmonic of a mode locked Nd 3Γ· laser. The rate of formation of the loc
