  1. "Environmented" electronic systems • Deposited clusters or molecules: • on rare gas surface -> "soft-landing" • FeN @ Ru via Ar • [Lau et al., Low Temp. Phys. (2003)] • thymine @ Ar @ Pt • [Levesque et al., Nucl. Instr. Meth. Phys. Res. (2003)] • on oxides (MgO,ZnO,Al2O3,…) -> catalysis studies

  2. "Environmented" electronic systems • Embedded clusters • in rare gas droplets • -> control of • temperature,size • [Bartelt et al., PRL (1996)] Ag3+ @ Ar • in rare gas matrices • -> "inert" (?) environment • [Lecoultre et al., JCP (2007)] • [Bonacic-Koutecky et al.,JCP (1999)] free Ag3+

  3. Dynamics of extended systems Dynamics model-potential (frozen) electrons Car-Parrinello MD All classical charge creation MM / QM(TDDFT) TDDFT-MD MM/QM(TDCI) TDCI Environment Electrons e- quantal but small systems environment e- excitation  charge creation  e- quantal but in ground state electronic excitation How ??

  6. (Time-resolved) observables During or after cluster deposition, laser irradiation, … from electrons: • dipole response (-> spectral analysis) • ionization • number of emitted e- • kinetic E spectrum of emitted e- • angular distribution of emitted e- from ions: • potential and kinetic (temperature) E • global deformation and shape from matrix: • potential and kinetic (temperature) E • global deformation and shape • internal excitation (dipoles)
