Serves as an introduction to atomic clusters - ranging from weakly bonded clusters of argon to strongly bonded carbon clusters and metal nano-particles - as well as clusters composed of molecular and ionic building blocks. It describes the experimental generation, detection and interrogation of clusters and theoretical approaches developed to aid our understanding of their physical properties.(21) «
