Books in the SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Atoms, Molecules, and Clusters series

This brief is based on computations performed on unary neutral and charged iron clusters, binary iron clusters, and iron clusters interacting with carbon and oxygen atoms as well as with a number of diatomics and water.

A broad range of state-of-the-art methods to determine properties of clusters are presented. Furthermore, existing theoretical models to explain the experimental observations are introduced and the possibility to deduce structural information from measurements of dielectric properties is discussed.

This Brief presents the main aspects of the response functions theory (RFT) for molecular solutes described within the framework of the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM).
