Abstract
Based on the tightbinding molecular dynamics, the structural, thermodynamical and collision properties are systematically studied for Nan. Present claculations are successful in reproducing some of the experimental data and in agreement very well with some other ab initio calculations. We also investigate the transition from solidlike phase to liquidlike phase with increasing temperature for this finite system and the stability of dimer (Nan)2 formed in cluster collisions.
