Size effects in the chemistry and physics of atomic and molecular clusters, nanoparticles and nanostructures collection in PCCP now online and free to access

21 Nov 2024

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed issue Size effects in the chemistry and physics of atomic and molecular clusters, nanoparticles and nanostructures is now online and free to access until the end of February 2025.

This themed collection was organised on the occasion of the International Symposium on Small Particles and Inorganic Clusters – ISSPIC XXI that took place from 3^rd-8^th September 2023 in Berlin, Germany. The ISSPIC conference series is devoted to communicating the progress in experimental and theoretical studies of materials at the nano and sub-nano scale.

Guest Edited by André Fielicke, Sandra Lang, and Thorsten M. Bernhardt this collection focusses on a wide range of areas affecting the chemistry and physics of atomic and molecular clusters, nanoparticles and nanostructures.

Fundamental Basis of Mechanochemical Reactivity is now online and free to access until the end of January 2025

08 Nov 2024

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed issue Fundamental Basis of Mechanochemical Reactivity is now online and free to access until the end of January 2025.

There is a growing need to understand how mechanical energy drives physico-chemical transformations in individual molecules as well as in complex materials, which requires a non-traditional way of thinking about chemical reactivity.

Guest Edited by Adam A.L. Michalchuk (University of Birmingham) and Francesco Delogu (University of Cagliari), this collection aims to highlight original achievements or historical perspectives which provide or discuss developments in understanding fundamental aspects of mechanically driven reactivity of individual molecules and solids.

PCCP Themed collection: Molecular Dynamics in the Gas Phase

28 Aug 2024

This themed collection aims to highlight recent experimental and theoretical advances to unravel the connection between the initial energy transfer in interactions between isolated molecules or clusters and photons, electrons, or heavy particles (ions, atoms, molecules), and the related molecular dynamics on timescales spanning more than twenty orders of magnitude – from attoseconds to minutes and beyond. This knowledge is important for fundamental atomic and molecular physics, chemical physics and physical chemistry, and for a broad range of applications in e.g. astrophysics and -chemistry, atmospheric science, and radiation damage on the nanoscale.

Guest Edited by Professor Henning Zettergren and Dr Alicja Domaracka, this collection reviews the recent experimental and theoretical achievements that aim to understand dynamics of molecules.

ABS Trust: Gordon F. Kirkbright and Edward Steers Bursary Awards, 2023

12 Sep 2023

The Gordon F. Kirkbright bursary award is a prestigious annual award that assists a promising early career scientists of any nation to attend a recognised scientific meeting or visit a place of learning. The fund for this bursary was established in 1985 as a memorial to Professor Gordon Kirkbright in recognition of his contributions to analytical spectroscopy and to science in general.

Owing to the generosity of one of our former trustees, an eminent atomic spectroscopist, Professor Edward B.M. Steers, we are now able to award an annual Edward Steers bursary, in addition to the long standing Gordon Kirkbright bursary, to similarly assist a promising early scientist engaged in or utilising analytical spectroscopic techniques. The ABS Trust defines early career as being either a student, or an employee in a non-tenured academic post or in industry, within 5 years of award of PhD excluding career breaks. The same conditions apply to each bursary.

Applications are invited for both the 2023 Gordon Kirkbright Bursary and the 2023 Edward Steers Bursary.

Although both funds are administered by the ABS Trust, the Kirkbright award is not restricted to spectroscopists, but is open to all involved with or utilising analytical science-based techniques.

Applicants to complete the following online form by the deadline for completion is 30th November 2023

Visit the ABS Trust website for more details or contact abstrustuk@gmail.com with any questions

14 Aug 2023

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed collection Computational Modelling as a Tool in Catalytic Science is now online and free to access until the end of October 2023.

Computational modelling techniques now play a vital role in catalytic science. Atomic and molecular level simulation is used widely and increasingly routinely in modelling structural and mechanistic properties, especially those of the active site. Computational catalysis embraces a wide range of techniques, which at the molecular level include both static and dynamical simulations based on interatomic potentials and quantum mechanical methods using both periodic and embedded cluster techniques. The field is advancing rapidly owing to developments in technique and the continuing growth in the capability of computer hardware; and importantly it is becoming increasingly predictive with modelling guiding rather than simply explaining experiment.

Guest Edited by Professor Richard Catlow (University College London and Cardiff University), Dr Matthew Quesne (Cardiff University), and Dr Arunabhiram Chutia (University of Lincoln), this collection provides a survey of the state-of-the-art in the field.
