Excess Electrons in Water Clusters

ORAL

Abstract

Excess electrons in water systems are always a research topic of interest. In this talk, we will discuss the behavior and formation of the excess electrons in water cluster using DFT ab-initio simulations with a combination of quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics. System size is chosen so that the excess electrons will form a bound state rather than a surface state. Measurements will be performed to test the stability of the electron structure.
