On clusters and clustering : from atoms to fractals

Clusters occur on all length scales, and as a result, intrude in a variety of fields. They are scientifically interesting, and have important technological consequences. Papers are divided into three sections: small, intermediate, and large clusters. Small clusters are the area of atomic and molecular physics and chemistry. The intermediate regime is the transition area with the onset of bulk-like behavior, growth and aggregation, and the beginning of materials properties. Large-scale clusters reflect condensed-matter and materials science aspects. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
