Abstract
The study of atomic clusters dates from the 1950s, but it has been only in the past decade that advances in experimental and theoretical techniques have brought renewed interest to this exciting field, both as an area of fundamental research and for its potential industrial applications. Among the developments responsible for this increased activity have been the advent of laser vaporization, thermal stagnation, and supersonic expansion cluster sources, as well as powerful laser spectroscopic techniques, pulsed molecular beam nozzles, matrix isolation, and improvements in vacuum technology. These methods have finally made it possible to study clusters of materials which are highly refractory and in particular, the semiconductors.
