The results of self-consistent nonlocal (GGA) density functional calculations are reported for small cobalt clusters (n)6;13). An emphasis is made on a proper treatment of correlation effects. The magnetic as well as the bonding properties of these clusters are discussed in terms of a delicate balan

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
The structure and stability of small boron clusters B,, (n = 2-14) have been investigated employing density functional theory. The search for minima was performed using gradient methods at the local spin density level. Most of the final structures prefer planar or quasi-planar forms and can be consi
Ionic materials can be conveniently described by quantum mechanical cluster models. In these models the electrostatic field of the crystal surrounding is often Ε½ . taken into account by embedding the cluster in an array of point charges PCs . However, anions at the cluster boundary can be strongly p
