Stability and electronic properties of pure aluminum clusters
The electronic and geometrical structures of neutral and charged clusters AI N , N 00000 22, are calculated using ab initio density functional theory (DFT). The geometries obtained a...

Fission barriers for Na N 2+ cluster dissociation
The competition experimentally observed between asymmetric fission and neutral monomer evaporation as dissociation channels of excited doubly charged sodium clusters has been investigated by means of an axiall...

Electronic and atomic structure of simple-metal clusters: Beyond the spherical jellium model
The ground-state atomic and electronic structure of simple-metal clusters is studied by minimizing the total cluster energy using the density functional formalism. The geometrical structure of the cluster is t...

Enrichment and segregation in alkali heteroclusters
A spherical average pseudopotential method (SAPS) is used to investigate some properties of compound alkali clusters. The effect that the substitution of a Sodium atom by a Lithium atom in a Nan cluster has on th...
