  <b>Abstract</b>
  This talk is a re-examination of some of the most basic notions
  of thermodynamics, namely,
  temperature, equipartition, specific heat, and degrees of
  freedom, in the context of finite-sized systems and clusters.

  <b>The Speaker</b>

   <a href="http://chemistry.anl.gov/staff/clusterstudies-staff/index.html">
    <b>Professor Jellinek</b>
   </a>
   (Ph.D., <a href="http://www.weizmann.ac.il/">Weizmann Institute of Science</a>, Israel) is
   a Senior Scientist and the Group Leader of the
   <a href="http://chemistry.anl.gov/ClusterStudies/index.html">Cluster Studies Group</a>
   at the
   <a href="http://www.anl.gov/">Argonne National Laboratory</a>, US.
   He carries out theoretical studies of metal cluster structure, phases and
   phase changes, cluster fragmentation, electronic properties, and the
   dynamics of reactions of clusters with molecules. The theorists and
   experimentalists work interactively to advance the understanding of
   clusters and cluster-molecule systems.
