Julius Jellinek
Emeritus
Biography
My main interests and activities lie in the broad area of finite-size systems and phenomena (atomic and molecular clusters, nanosystems, nanophenomena) and include fundamental conceptual and methodological developments as well as applications in the form of modeling and numerical simulations. The issues and properties studied cover structural forms, dynamics, phases and phase changes, dielectric, electronic, magnetic, optical, and chemical reactivity features of finite-size systems as defined by their size and composition.
