Clusters and Cluster-Assembled Materials

Abstract

Our work falls naturally into three categories: (1) local density calculations of cluster structures and the development of classical potentials, (2) simulation of thermodynamic properties of clusters and their fusion, and (3) macroscopic (continuum theory) modeling of the sintering process. These topics will be addressed in turn. Although the nominal focus of the proposal is on sintering processes, many issues important to sintering are generic in nature and thus also important in other areas of cluster science. These issues have been approached from a broad perspective, leading to results which impact the whole field of clusters and cluster-assembled materials.
