Gallium arsenide duster ions were generated by laser vaporization in a supersonic nozzle, trapped in a Fourier transform ioncyclotron resonance mass spectrometer, and allowed to react with NH3 forming addition complexes with the cluster cations. With excess NH3, GaxAsy(NH3)~ + with the same GaAs com

✦ Synopsis
The static electric dipole polarizabilities of isolated Ga,As, clusters with N + M = 4-30 atoms and approximatly 1 : 1 composition have been measured in dependence of the cluster size N + M by means of a molecular beam deflection technique. A striking size-dependent behaviour has been observed for small Ga,As, clusters with up to 15 atoms. Within this size range the polarizability oscillates strongly between low values for even and high values for odd numbers of atoms N + M. For clusters with N + M < 12 the polarizabiiity of gallium rich clusters is significantly larger than the values obtained for arsenic rich clusters whereas the opposite effect was observed for larger clusters with N + M > 12.

Electronic structures and stabilities of Ga,As, clusters (n= l-3) are explored by means of accurate quantum-chemical calculations using ab initio effective core potentials (ECP). Our results on GaAs and Ga2As2 are in good agreement with the conclusions from previous studies on these systems. We find
Possible isomers of the gallium arsenide clusters of the formula Ga,,As, containing up to ten atoms and icosahedral clusters are enumerated. The possible parent polyhedrons up to ten vertices are constructed and then Pdlya's theorem is applied to each polyhedron to calculate the generating functions
