Gold clusters Aun of size n = 2 to 12 atoms were studied by the density-functional theory with an ab-initio pseudopotential and a generalized gradient approximation. Geometry optimizations starting from a number of initial candidate…

The stability and structures of Titanium-doped Gold clusters AunTi (n=2-16) are studied under the relativistic all-electron density-functional calculations. It is found that the most stable structures of AunTi clusters with n=2-7 are…

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 why gold forms planar and cage-like clusters while copper and silver do not. We use density functional theory and norm-conserving pseudo-potentials with and without a scalar relativistic component. For the exchange-correlation…

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…
