Within a rather general tight-binding framework, we studied the magnetic properties of Ni$_{n}$ clusters with $n=9$ through 60. In addition to usual hopping, exchange, and spin-orbit coupling terms, our Hamiltonian also included orbital…
The geometric and electronic structures of NaN, CuN, and AgN metal clusters are systematically studied based on the density functional theory over a wide range of cluster sizes 2=<N=<75. A remarkable similarity is observed between the…
The half-metallic properties of a new and promising full-Heusler compound, Zr2CoSn, are investigated by means of ab initio calculations within the Density Functional Theory framework. The ferromagnetic ordered Hg2CuTi-type crystal structure…
We investigate the electromagnetic properties of assemblies of nanoscale $\epsilon$-cobalt crystals with size range between 5 nm to 35 nm, embedded in a polystyrene (PS) matrix, at microwave (1-12 GHz) frequencies. We investigate the…
The physical and chemical properties of metal nanoparticles differ significantly from those of free metal atoms as well as from the properties of bulk metals, and therefore, they may be viewed as a transition regime between the two physical…
We studied the structural and the electronic properties of ionized and neutral small Au clusters via plane wave pseudopotential calculations. All except the anionic heptamer favor one-dimensional zigzag structures or two-dimensional…
We study the evolution of magnetized clusters in a cosmological environment using magneto-hydro dynamical simulations. Large scale flows and merging of subclumps generate shear flows leading to Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, which, in…
We investigate noncollinear effects in antiferromagnetically coupled clusters using the general, rotationally invariant form of local spin-density theory. The coupling to the electronic degrees of freedom is treated with relativistic…
Molybdenum clusters, characterised by their unique structure and intriguing catalytic properties, have gained significant attention in recent years. In several existing studies density functional theory (DFT) methods have been used to find…
Strongly interacting binary mixtures of superparamagnetic colloidal particles confined to a two-dimensional water-air interface are examined by theory, computer simulation and experiment. The mixture exhibits a partial clustering in…
Ferromagnetic couplings in spin clusters are shown to be strongly enhanced compared to those for an ordered impurity arrangement, even for the same spin separation and hole doping. The consequent energy-enhancement of the cluster-localized…
We have investigated the lowest-energy structures and electronic properties of the Au$_n$(n=2-20) clusters based on density functional theory (DFT) with local density approximation. The small Au$_n$ clusters adopt planar structures up to…
We use coupled-cluster quantum chemical methods to calculate the energetics of molecular clusters cut out of periodic molecular hydrogen structures that model observed phases of solid hydrogen. The hydrogen structures are obtained from…
Theoretical studies on the geometry, electronic structure and spin multiplicity of Sc, Ti and V doped Na$_n$ (n = 4, 5, 6) clusters have been carried out within a gradient corrected density functional approach. Two complementary approaches…
A low concentration of cobalt clusters with a fcc structure and containing almost one thousand atoms are embedded in two different metallic matrices: platinum and niobium. Samples have been prepared using a co-deposition technique. Cobalt…
The magnetic structures of small clusters of Fe, Mn, and Cr supported on a Cu(111) surface have been studied with non-collinear first principles theory. Different geometries such as triangles, pyramids and wires are considered and the…
The realization of the stable structure of Heusler compounds and the study of different properties is an important step for their potential application in spintronics and magnetoelectronic devices. In this paper, using the plane-wave…
The magnetic properties of the two-site Hubbard cluster (dimer or pair), embedded in the external electric and magnetic fields and treated as the open system, are studied by means of the exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. The…
Manipulating the way in which colloidal particles self-organise is a central challenge in the design of functional soft materials. Meeting this challenge requires the use of building blocks that interact with one another in a highly…
The Cobalt-germanium (Co-Ge) is a fascinating complex alloy system that has unique structure and exhibit range of interesting magnetic properties which would change when reduce to nanoscale dimension. At this experimental work, the…
