Abstract

We present a recently introduced hierarchical model for the description of clusters in contact with an environment (embedded or deposited cluster). We briefly outline the ingredients of the model and show the relevance of a proper treatment of the degrees of freedom of the environment. We then discuss the effects of cluster–substrate interaction in three different dynamical scenarios: Optical response of a small Na cluster deposited on an MgO surface, a comparison of the dynamics of deposition of an Na cluster on an MgO surface versus an Ar surface, and strong laser excitation of an Na cluster embedded in an Ar matrix.
