Radiative cooling in silver and palladium doped gold clusters KU Leuven
The emission of photons from a thermally populated electronic excited state, via the process of recurrent fluorescence, has been recognized as a prominent cooling channel in hot molecules and small metal clusters. For the latter case, however, only monometallic species have been investigated to date. An active radiative cooling channel has a stabilizing effect and can favor the size and composition specific production of selected clusters. In ...
