Представлены результаты моделирования пространственной структуры и электронных свойств кластеров MeGe16 - и MeGe20 - (Me = Sc, Y, Lu). Рассматривается возможность синтеза  пуллереноподобных кластеров и кластеров с другими типами замкнутых структур. Проведены сравнительные расчеты в рамках теории функционала плотности с использованием базиса SDD и трех различных потенциалов – B3LYP, B3PW91 и PBEPBE. Анализируется влияние выбора потенциала на результаты моделирования пространственной структуры кластеров и их электронного спектра. Оценка адекватности теоретических методов проводится путем сравнения рассчитанных электронных спектров с экспериментальными результатами по фотоэлектронной спектроскопии кластеров.     REFERENCES Kroto H.

The electronic structures of actinide metal doped half sandwich AnB12 (An = Th to Cm) clusters are explored and characterized using relativistic density functional theory. The trend of oxidation state across the actinide series in AnB12 exhibits two turning points, +V in Pa and +II in Am.

AbstractThe atomic and electronic structures of Si6H2m and Si6H+2m+1 clusters have been investigated in the framework of density-functional theory. For both neutral and ionized clusters we found the structure to belong to one of four distinct structural families. A molecular-orbital picture of hydrogenation is presented. From the calculated formation energies of these clusters, we infer the relative stability of the different structural families discussed.
