Radiative cooling in silver and palladium doped gold clusters

Abstract

The emission of photons from a thermally populated electronic excited state, via the process of recurrent fluorescence, has been recognized as a prominent cooling channel in hot molecules and small...

Gas-phase synthesis of nanoparticles: current application challenges and instrumentation development responses

“…Very recently, odd–even oscillations between open-closed electronic subshell configurations were also found to affect radiation cooling rates of Au clusters (and Au–Ag and Au–Pd binary nanoalloys). 93 This effect could help stabilise particular multi-metallic cluster configurations in out-of-equilibrium gas-phase synthesis.…”
