Description
Summary:In this paper, we give an account of recent progress in understanding properties of nanoaggregates, following their dynamical behavior by classical mechanics simulations and utilizing tools based on extensions of hyperspherical and related techniques, originally developed for the quantum mechanical treatment of few-body atomic and molecular systems. After an outline of the underlying theory, recent applications exemplifying statistical and thermodynamic aspects of nanoclusters are discussed.
