Single-crystalline Y(OH) 3 nanowires were synthesized from Y 2 O 3 powder by a simple acetic acid assisted hydrothermal method under near neutral conditions. The nanowires show unusual, bundle-like morphology with diameter of 20−50 nm and aspect ratio of 600−2000. It is found that the presence of acetic acid and its c…

The adsorption and dissociation of H(2) on the neutral and charged gold clusters Au(n) (m)(m=0,+/-1; n=1-6) is investigated using the density functional theory PW91 functional. H(2) interacts very weakly with Au(n) (-1), whereas the interaction with Au(n) (+1) is relatively strong. The binding energies on neutral clus…
