  Thermodynamic response of small clusters is a challenging area of exploration, both experimentally, as well as theoretically. In this article, we study the thermodynamic behaviour of small Pb clusters (size 16--24) using Born Oppenheimer Molecular Dynamics. A new ground state structure is reported for Pb$_{20}$. Except Pb$_{21}$, all clusters fragment at temperatures above T$_{m[bulk]}$, and show no signs of melting. Characteristic behaviour like restricted diffusion and solid-solid transition is discussed in detail. Variation in the isomerization temperature of these clusters is explained using the bondlength analysis. Root mean square bondlength fluctuations (\deltarms) along with distribution of atoms about centre of mass of the cluster as a function of time and distance-energy plots are used to bring out the essential features of Pb cluster thermodynamics. Analysis carried out using these parameters, and their interpretation regarding state of the system, are discussed in detail. We highlight that it is not possible to define `liquid-state' for these small clusters, in the conventional frame of understanding.

  In the present work, we have investigated the charge storage capacitive response and field emission behaviour of platinum (Pt) nanoparticles decorated on carbon nano onions (CNOs) and compared them with those of pristine carbon nano onions. The specific capacitance observed for Pt–CNOs is 342.5 F g?1, about six times higher than that of pristine CNOs, at a scan rate of 100 mV s?1. The decoration with Pt nanoparticles, without any binder or polymer separator on the CNO, leading to enhanced supercapacitance is due to easy accessibility of Na2SO4 electrolyte in the active material. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of these systems reveal enhancement in the Density of States (DOS) near the Fermi energy (EF) on account of platinum decoration on the CNOs. Furthermore, the field emission current density of ?0.63 mA cm?2 has been achieved from the Pt-CNOs emitter at an applied electric field of ?4.5 V ?m?1 and from the pristine CNOs sample current density of ?0.4 mA cm?2 has been achieved at an applied electric field of ?6.6 V ?m?1. The observed enhanced field emission behavior has been attributed to the improved electrical conductivity and increased emitting sites of the Pt–CNO emitter. The field emission current stability of the Pt–CNO emitter over a longer duration is found to be good. The observed results imply multifunctional potential of Pt–CNOs, as supercapacitor material in various next generation hybrid energy storage devices, and field emitters for next generation vacuum nano/microelectronic devices

  Spectral signatures in the terahertz (THz) frequency region are mainly due to bulk vibrations of the molecules. These resonances are highly sensitive to the relative position of atoms in a molecule as well as the crystal packing arrangement. To understand the variation of THz resonances, THz spectra (2–10 THz) of three structural isomers: 2-, 3-, and 4-cyanobenzaldehyde have been studied. THz spectra obtained from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry of these isomers show that the resonances are distinctly different especially below 5 THz. For understanding the intermolecular interactions due to hydrogen bonds, four molecule cluster simulations of each of the isomers have been carried out using the B3LYP density functional with the 6-31G(d,p) basis set in Gaussian09 software and the compliance constants are obtained. However, to understand the exact reason behind the observed resonances, simulation of each isomer considering the full crystal structure is essential. The crystal structure of each isomer has been determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis for carrying out crystal structure simulations. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations using CRYSTAL14 software, utilizing the hybrid density functional B3LYP, have been carried out to understand the vibrational modes. The bond lengths and bond angles from the optimized structures are compared with the XRD results in terms of root-mean-square-deviation (RMSD) values. Very low RMSD values confirm the overall accuracy of the results. The simulations are able to predict most of the spectral features exhibited by the isomers. The results show that low frequency modes (<3 THz) are mediated through hydrogen bonds and are dominated by intermolecular vibrations.
• Vaibhav Kaware And Kavita Joshi, Partial Ionic Bonding in Homogeneous Sodium Clusters, arXiv., , (2015), DOI:http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.03816.
  In this work, we report an interesting observation of partial ionic bonding due to charge transfer in homogeneous sodium clusters. The charge transfer causes the electronic charge to accumulate on the surface, and the resulting charges on atoms range between +0.4 to -1.0 |e^-|. We also demonstrate that this disparity among effective charges on atoms is geometry dependent, such that atoms experiencing similar surrounding, have equal effective charge. It is speculated that this phenomenon will occur among other homogeneous clusters as well, and its extent will be defined by the valence electron delocalization
