Small nickel clusters up to the tetramer are investigated within the framework of the local spin density functional theory. Several competitive states are studied for the dimer. Both the geometry and the spin state are optimized for several starting symmetries in the case of the trimer and the tetra

Small molybdenum clusters up to the tetramer are investigated within the framework of the density functional theory. Both the geometry and the spin state are optimized for the dimer, trimer, and the tetramer. Moreover, all those calculations are followed by a vibrational analysis to discriminate bet
We investigate the structural, vibrational, and energetic properties of [Be( HzO),]\*+ clusters with n = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 water molecules, relevant to Be \*+ hydration. The Becke exchange gradient-corrected local density approximation is used in the framework of a pseudopotential representation of
The structures of small water clusters (up to 8 molecules) have been studied using gradient-corrected density functional theory and ab initio molecular dynamics. For smaller clusters (3,4 and 6 molecules) ring structures were found to be the most stable, while for octamers three-dimensional structur
