Faraday Discussion No. 118
Cluster Dynamics
University of Durham, UK
18-20 April 2001
Studies of atomic and molecular clusters are one of the growth areas of
modern chemical physics. The last few years have seen major advances in
both experimental and theoretical methods, and it is now possible to
prepare and characterize a wide range of finite-size systems.
Abstracts of papers containing new, unpublished work (not reviews) are
invited for consideration by the Organising Committee. Summaries of about
300 words should be submitted no later than 31 March 2000 to
Prof. Jeremy M Hutson, Department of Chemistry, University of Durham,
Durham, DH1 3LE, UK (email [log in to unmask])
The Discussion will be focussed on studies that deal specifically with
dynamical processes in a cluster environment and the interactions that
determine them. The term "dynamics" will be interpreted widely, to include
spectroscopic studies that probe multiple minima on a potential energy
surface. The committee particularly welcomes papers in the following areas:
Reactions of clusters
Reactions induced by clustering
Transition-state spectroscopy
Photodynamics of clusters
Caging effects in clusters
Tunnelling in clusters
Global potential energy surfaces
