Quantum Simulation Verifies The Stability Of An 18 Coordinated Actinium-helium Complex.

The structures of trivalent actinium cation in helium clusters (Ac3+Hen) have been studied by quantum path integral molecular dynamics simulations with different cluster sizes, n = 18-200. The nuclear quantum effect of helium atoms plays an important role in the … Continue reading
