The phrase "atomic cluster" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific contexts, particularly in chemistry or physics, to refer to a group of atoms that are bonded together.
Example: "The researchers discovered a new type of atomic cluster that exhibited unique properties at the nanoscale."
Alternatives: "atomic ensemble" or "molecular cluster".
By acquiring a time series of STEM HAADF images, we were able to capture (1) shrinking of a small particle (≈2.5 nm) through atom migration), and (2) an atomic cluster (≈1 nm) detaching from an intermediate-size particle to coalesce with neighboring bigger particle).
In terms of energy, when all impurity atoms are on the same edge of an atomic cluster, their positions are more advantageous.
Since the nature of the ferrocene compound consists of one iron atom, ten carbon atoms, and ten hydrogen atoms, in the first few minutes, cyclopentadienyl rings bound to the opposite sides of a central Fe atom break and decompose into free micro-sized Fe atomic cluster.
In this review article, the atomic cluster structural features of CMAs described by the cluster-plus-glue-atom model, and the cluster structure related composition rules, physicochemical properties, together with their correlations have been outlined.
We present a new technique to extend the embedded-atom method (EAM) for the simulations of non-bulk systems down to the atomic cluster level.
The local structures were also analyzed using Honeycutt Andersen (HA) indices, Voronoi tessellation and the atomic cluster alignment (ACA) method.
More essential are elements which can be introduced into the diamond lattice as isolated atoms (or small atomic clusters) during the diamond growth.
As shown in Fig. 2, we found that, during a displacement interval, at high strain rate, few rearranged atoms form many small atomic clusters, and at low strain rate, many rearranged atoms form few large atomic clusters.
Simulation studies suggest that in the latter films, Cr tends to be present as very small atomic clusters of 2 3 Cr atoms.
Many innovative scientists have spelled out the desire to fabricate a new class of materials that are built from atomic clusters instead of individual atoms, in order to benefit from the unique properties of such clusters.
New structural insights from this work include the importance of acknowledging the unique cluster topologies to estimate cluster cluster separations; an improved ability to estimate the higher packing efficiency of unlike atoms in the first coordination shell of atomic clusters; and an improved estimate of metalloid metalloid separations.
