The atmospheres of giant planets are highly complicated systems, where complex physical and chemical processes with different characteristic time scales take place. The formation of solid particles and/or liquid droplets has a significant effect on the thermal, dynamical, and chemical structure of the atmospheres. In particular, the appearance of the planets depends on the character and distribution of such atmospheric condensates. The transition from a gas to solid/liquid particles takes place via the formation and growth of small clusters in the gas. The required kinetic and thermodynamic data of such microphysical processes are often rarely available. Therefore, clusters possibly involved in condensation processes from the gas phase have been studied theoretically employing computational electronic structure techniques. The obtained properties are necessary prerequisites for the study of such phase transitions in astrophysical environments. Consequences regarding the presence of particles under the atmospheric conditions of extrasolar giant planets are discussed.
