AbstractSingle crystals of sapphire were implanted at room temperature with 300 keV-Ag+. The metal precipitate was characterized by a multitechnique approach including RBS, optical absorption and Raman spectroscopy. RBS measurements were used to determine the depth-profiles of the implanted ions. Ag depth profiles, derived from RBS are in good agreement with the results predicted by Monte Carlo simulations. Linear absorption spectroscopy has been used to characterize the effects of the ion fluence on the optical properties of the metal colloids in the UV-Vis region. The broad absorption band due to the surface plasmon resonance shows an appreciable red-shift when the fluence of bombarding ions increases. Raman scattering from acoustic vibrations of the silver clusters progressively shifts toward the laser frequency with increasing implantation dose. From low-frequency Raman spectra an evaluation of the average size of metal aggregates was derived.

Study of interaction of NO and (NO)2 molecules with silver clusters has been carried out using the hybrid method S2LYP based on density functional theory (DFT). The role of cluster charge and site of adsorption on N–O stretch frequency, adsorption energy and geometry has been investigated. Four cluster models of different size have been used for simulation of (NO)2 adsorption on Ag{111} surface. The pronounced effect of N–N bond shortening in comparison with gaseous (NO)2 has been found due to adsorption of (NO)2 on silver cluster. This phenomenon is important as possible pathway of N–N bond formation in catalytic fragmentation of NO molecule. The calculations showed that the silver octamer is the best candidate for simulation of formation and fragmentation of (NO)2 on Ag{111} surface within the cluster model.

Two quantum chemical methods which are the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the complete active space CASPT2/CASSCF have been used in modeling absorption spectra of silver clusters Agn (n = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8). There is an overall good agreement between TD-DFT and CASPT2 results for transition energies. The absorption spectra of the Agn clusters examined can reasonably be simulated using the excitation energies obtained by either TD-DFT or CASPT2 method.  The main result emerged from this calculation is that the TD-DFT method is suitable for treatment of excited states of Ag clusters. The choice of specific functionals and basis sets to be used in some cases induces important effects on the calculated spectra. It is also noteworthy to mention that for some clusters, the neutral Ag6 for instance, the effect of noble gas environment is significant, while for some others such as the neutral Ag8, it is not. Therefore, carrying out TD-DFT calculations to reproduce and to assign a given structure to an experimental absorption spectrum of a silver cluster, it is not only to select suitable functionals but also to take enough effects of environments into account.

Our article is a systematic study toward understanding the mechanism of silver cluster formation. We calculated optical spectra of ultra-small silver clusters using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and compared our results with time-resolved UV-Vis spectra obtained from pulse radiolysis experiments during early stages of cluster formation. This comparative study indicates that the formation mechanism of silver clusters occurs through both monomer and ion addition growth pathways. Also, we calculated free energy of formation of small cationic and neutral clusters using density functional theory (DFT) which shows the thermodynamic stability of cationic clusters. In a conventional experimental system with the common reducing agents, the formation of cationic clusters is kinetically favored owing to the dominance of charged ions relative to neutral atoms in the system. While we show the stability of small cationic clusters relative to neutral clusters, collectively, we deduce that the monomer addition along with ion addition growth pathway is involved in silver cluster formation mechanism. We further show the effect of solvent and water ligands on structure, stability, and optical properties of small clusters.

Particle Impoverishment

As a typical implementation of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter, sequential Monte Carlo PHD (SMC-PHD) is widely employed in highly nonlinear systems. However, diversity loss of particles introduced by the resampling step, which can be called particle impoverishment problem, may lead to performance degradation and restrain the use of SMC-PHD filter in practical applications. In this paper, a novel SMC-PHD filter based on particle compensation is proposed to solve the problem. Firstly, based on an analysis of the particle impoverishment problem, a new particle compensatory method is developed to improve the particle diversity. Then, all the particles are integrated into the SMC-PHD filter framework. Compared with the SMC-PHD filter, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed particle compensatory SMC-PHD filter is capable of overcoming the particle impoverishment problem, which indicate good application prospects.

A global search on the lowest-energy structures of the medium-sized silver clusters Ag n(n = 21–34) was performed by using a genetic algorithm (GA) coupled with a tight-binding (TB) method. Structures, binding energies per atom, second differences in energies, the energy gaps between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO–LUMO), and fragmentation behaviors of Ag n(n = 21–34) are investigated by using DFT method. The calculated results show that the neutral silver clusters prefer to decay by evaporation of a monomer except a small sized silver cluster ( Ag 4), which favors a dimmer evaporation. For the collision induced dissociation of cationic silver clusters, decaying a silver atom is found to be the dominant fragmentation channel. But for some small sized cationic silver clusters, a neutral dimmer evaporation is found to be energetically favorable. Our calculated results are consistent with previous studies.

Metal clusters are proposed as models to develop a molecular perspective on surface processes and to increase our understanding in important areas such as heterogeneous catalysis. This goal requires the characterization of small metal-cluster-ligand complexes in as great detail as possible. One avenue is to apply IR spectroscopy to cluster-ligand complexes. Problems of number density and mass selectivity prohibit the use of direct optical absorption methods. We report on progress towards applying infrared multiphoton dissociation, IRMPD, to obtain spectra by direct photodepletion. In this regard the silver-cluster-ammonia system is promising. The action spectrum for IRMPD of Ag 2 NH 3, monitored via the Ag 2 product in a fast-flow reactor, reveals an absorption peak at 1065 cm −1 which is assigned to the −NH3 umbrella mode of the complex. Molecular structure calculations using density-functional theory predict an end-on geometry and are in good agreement with this value. Preliminary results on complexes of larger Ag clusters studied by monitoring the IRMPD depletion of a Ag n NH 3 molecular beam by time-of-flight mass spectrometry are presented. The promise of these systems as models for NH 3 bound to Ag surfaces is discussed.
