We present a study of the optical response of compact and hollow icosahedral clusters containing up to 868 silver atoms by means of time-dependent density functional theory. We have studied the dependence on size and morphology of both the…

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…

The time-dependent local density approximation is applied to the optical response of the silver clusters, Ag_2, Ag_3, Ag_8 and Ag_9^+. The calculation includes all the electrons beyond the closed-shell Ag^{+11} ionic core, thus including…

We have used the stabilized spin-polarized jellium model to calculate the equilibrium sizes of metal clusters. Our self-consistent calculations in the local spin-density approximation show that for an $N$-electron cluster, the equilibrium…

The ground-state electronic, structural, and magnetic properties of small silver clusters, Ag$_n$ (2$\le$n$\le$22), have been studied using a linear combination of atomic Gaussian-type orbitals within the density functional theory. The…

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…

Static electric response properties of atoms and molecules are reported within the real-space Cartesian grid implementation of pseudopotential Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT). A detailed systematic investigation is made for a…

Polarizabilities of Ge$_n$ clusters with 2 to 25 atoms are calculated using coupled-perturbation Hartree-Fock (CPHF) and finite field (FF) method within density functional theory. The polarizabilities of the Ge$_n$ clusters increase rapidly…

Size-selected silver clusters on Ag(111) were fabricated with the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope. Unoccupied electron resonances give rise to image contrast and spectral features which shift toward the Fermi level with increasing…

Electronic and optical properties of silver clusters were calculated using two different \textit{ab initio} approaches: 1) based on all-electron full-potential linearized-augmented plane-wave method and 2) local basis function…

We present structure calculations of neutral and singly ionized Mg clusters of up to 30 atoms, as well as Na clusters of up to 10 atoms. The calculations have been performed using density functional theory (DFT) within the local…

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…

Tight-binding molecular dynamics (TBMD) is used to study the structural and electronic properties of silver clusters. The ground state structures of Ag clusters up to 21 atoms are optimized via TBMD combined with genetic algorithm (GA). The…

Within the finite-field Kohn-Sham framework, static electric response properties of diatomic molecules are presented. The electronic energy, dipole moment ({\boldmath$\mu$}), static dipole polarizability ({\boldmath$\alpha$}) and…

We compare Kohn-Sham results (density, cohesive energy, size and effect of charging) of the Spherical Averaged Pseudopotential Model with the Stabilized Jellium Model for clusters of sodium and aluminum with less than 20 atoms. We find that…

We observe using ab initio methods that localized surface plasmon resonances in icosahedral silver nanoparticles enter the asymptotic region already between diameters of 1 and 2 nm, converging close to the classical quasistatic limit around…

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…

In this work we have applied the recently formulated self-compressed inhomogeneous stabilized jellium model [M. Payami and T. Mahmoodi, Can. J. Phys. {\bf 89}, 967 (2011)] to describe the equilibrium electronic and geometric properties of…

Under a certain scaling, the electron densities of finite systems become both large and slowly-varying, so that the gradient expansions of the density functionals for the Kohn-Sham kinetic and exchange energies become asymptotically exact…

We present a detailed investigation of static dipole polarizability of lithium clusters containing up to 22 atoms. We first build a database of lithium clusters by optimizing several candidate structures for the ground state geometry for…
