✦ Synopsis

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 that Ga,As, has a capped trigonal bipyramid ground-state structure, similar to those of Si6 and AIJP,. Several other local minima including planar and prismatic structures have also been found. Comparison with our previous results for AlP and MgS clusters indicates that the electronegativity difference between the constituents of a mixed cluster is a major factor in determining its bonding and geometrical properties.

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 s
