โœฆ Synopsis

First principles calculations based on molecular orbital theory as well as molecular dynamics simulation using a many body interatomic potential reveal the existence of two nearly degenerate isomeric forms of Ni7 -a capped octahedron and a pentagonal bipyramid. Contrary to expectations, the magnetic moments of the two isomers are the same. Although the reactivity of the isomers with N2 is different, it is argued that the current experimental studies of N2 saturation coverage cannot confirm the coexistence of the two isomers. Further experiments are necessary to achieve this goal.

Microcanonical molecular dynamics simulations are used to determine the structures of Ni N (N = 4, 5, 6) clusters and to study the dynamical and structural properties of the Ni 4 cluster. The interaction between the atoms is modeled by an empirical potential. The geometries and the related parameter

All-electron, spin-polar&d, LCGTG-LDF calculations have been performed on Ni clusters with face-centered-cubic (and simple cubic) geometry. The results are discussed in relation to theoretical and experimental data for gas-phase Ni clusters and for the extended metal. We analyze bonding, magnetic be
