- The first book covering a broad range of physical and chemical problems of atomic cluster physics in the context of physics of atomic and molecular collisions
bull; Contains contributions from leading experts in the field
bull; Considers both free and supported cluster systems
bull; Provides both a general introduction to the field and describes its very recent developments -- ideal for graduate and post-graduate students new to the area as well as specialists in atomic cluster physics
bull; Useful for comprehensive lecture courses in quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics and other courses in which complex finite systems like atoic clusters are relevant
