Part A of this book describes clustering phenomena at nuclear and subnuclear scales. It surveys recent advances in the synthesis of superheavy elements, clustering phenomena in fission and fusion processes of heavy nuclei and the properties of heavy and superheavy nuclei in supernova experiments. Part B is devoted to recent advances in the understanding of structure and essential properties, such as nanomagnetism, electronic and geometric shell effects, of selected atomic cluster systems and confined atoms. Both theoretical and experimental aspects of the field are discussed. Part C describes recent advances in electron, photon and ion cluster collisions. These include the problem of molecular rotation in external fields, electron scattering on neon droplets, dynamical screening of atoms by fullerene cages, photoionization and fragmentation of fullerene ions, and collisions of molecules with cluster ions. Part D is devoted to the problem of clusters on a surface. In particular, it describes the recent efforts in infrared spectroscopy and thermal desorption of clusters on self-assembled monolayers and the atomistic approach to the simulation of the nanoindentation process. Part E deals with the problems of phase
