We use density functional theory to quantify finite size and shape effects for gold nanoclusters. We concentrate on the computation of binding energy as a function of bond length for icosahedral and cuboctohedral clusters. We find that the…

The size-dependent electronic, structural, magnetic and vibrational properties of small pure cop- per and silver clusters and their alloys with one and two palladium atoms are studied by using full-potential all-electron density functional…

The magnetic behavior of bcc iron nanoclusters, with diameters between 2 and 8 nm, is investigated by means of spin dynamics (SD) simulations coupled to molecular dynamics (MD-SD), using a distance-dependent exchange interaction.…

Density functional theory (DFT) is used to study vibrations, electrical dipole moments, and polarizabilities of NaF clusters. Because of prior experimental and theoretical studies, this is a good model system for tracking the evolution of…

This study investigates the structural stability of ionized gold clusters of sizes ranging from 22 to 100 atoms, contrasting compact, cage and planar structures. While it is well known that neutral clusters in the upper part of this size…

We report the effects of variation in length on the electronic structure of CdSe nanorods derived from atomic clusters and passivated by fictitious hydrogen atoms. These nanorods are augmented by attaching gold clusters at both the ends to…

By means of density functional theory (DFT) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) we present a structural, electronic and magnetic study of FePt, CoPt, FeAu and FePd based L1$_0$ ordered cuboctahedral nanoparticles, with total…

Using first-principles density functional theory based calculations, we analyze the structural stability of small clusters of 3$d$ late transition metals. We consider the relative stability of the two structures - layer-like structure with…

Magnetic clusters, i.e., assemblies of a finite number (between two or three and several hundred) of interacting spin centers which are magnetically decoupled from their environment, can be found in many materials ranging from inorganic…

Assemblies of closely separated gold nanoparticles exhibit a strong collective plasmonic response due to coupling of the plasmon modes of the individual nanostructures. In the context of self-assembly of nanoparticles, closed packed 2D…

While the large paramagnetic response measured in certain ensembles of metallic nanoparticles has been assigned to orbital effects of conduction electrons, the spin-orbit coupling has been pointed out as a possible origin of the anomalously…

We study the structure and energetics of Au$_N$ clusters by means of parameter-free density-functional calculations ($N\le 8$), jellium calculations ($N\le 60$), embedded-atom calculations ($N\le 150$), and parameterized density-functional…

The theoretical formalism of the local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT) has been used to study the electronic and geometric structures of SimCn (1<=m, n<=4;n<=m) clusters. An all electron 6-311++G** basis set…

Binary random compacts with different proportions of small (volume V) and large (volume 2V) bare maghemite nanoparticles (NPs) are used to investigate the effect of controllably broadening the particle size distribution on the magnetic…

The presence of spin-orbit scattering within an aluminum nanoparticle affects measurements of the discrete energy levels within the particle by (1) reducing the effective g-factor below the free-electron value of 2, (2) causing avoided…

Giant magnetization of polyalanine monolayers on gold observed in resent years along with unusual large spin selectivity, the potential of the film and its temperature dependence are all explained in the context of vacuum polarization at…

We use density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the electronic structure and chemical properties of gold nanoparticles. Different structural families of clusters are compared. For up to 60 atoms we optimize structures using DFT-based…

Predicting magnetism originating from 2$p$ orbitals is a delicate problem, which depends on the subtle interplay between covalency and Hund's coupling. Calculations based on density functional theory and the local spin density approximation…

When decreasing the size of nanoscale magnetic particles their magnetization becomes vulnerable to thermal fluctuations as approaching the superparamgnetic limit, hindering thus applications relying on a stable magnetization. Here, we show…

A detailed numerical simulation of quasistatic hysteresis loops of dense clusters of interacting magnetic nanoparticles is carried out. Both clusters of magnetically soft and magnetically hard nanoparticles are considered. The clusters are…
