Experimental and theoretical study of hydrogen clusters

Abstract

Abstract: The structure of hydrogen molecule is the simplest in the universe, while its neutral cluster is a research prototype of molecular cluster science. At present, the study on the structures and dynamics of hydrogen clusters is still one of keystones in the research of basic sciences. Meanwhile, emphases of experimental and theoretical studies of hydrogen clusters are focused on the following three aspects: formation conditions and size distribution, ionization energy or appearance energy, and studies of quantum chemistry. The present status on the experimental and theoretical studies of hydrogen clusters are introduced here mainly. At the same time, the research progress of the photoionization of hydrogen clusters accomplished in our group are also introduced. We hope some information is provided for the research of basic and application of hydrogen clusters in the future.

Key words: Optoelectronics, mass distribution, ionization, hydrogen clusters, quantum chemistry calculation
