Size selected clusters and particles: from physical chemistry and chemical physics to catalysis – PCCP themed issue online now

PCCP is delighted to present its latest themed collection which includes a great selection of articles on Size selected clusters and particles. The issue was guest-edited by Jeroen van Bokhoven (Institute for Chemical and Bioengineering ETH Zurich) and Stefan Vajda (Argonne National Laboratory) and you can read an introduction to this issue in their editorial.

The outside front cover features an article from Anastassia N. Alexandrova et al. entitled Pure and Zn-doped Pt clusters go flat and upright on MgO(100).

There are many other great contributions to this themed issue including:
