Research
Interests. Our
research program focuses on understanding the fundamental features
which control the properties of clusters. One of
the
organizing principles in this work is the superatom
concept, which allows the robust prediction of the stability
and
reactivity of clusters by assigning them an effective valence
which is analogous forming a 3rd dimension of the periodic table.
We focus on understanding cluser assembled
materials,
magnetic properties, and reactivity, and have worked to
understand and exploit these features.
