Abstract

Electronic structure calculations on neutral and charged Mgn (n≤7) clusters and KnMgm mixed clusters have been carried out within a linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbital approach. The exchange correlaton effects have been treated via local spin density functional and non-local pseudopotentials have been used to replace the core. Our studies on charged Mgn clusters focus on the electron affinity and atomic binding in anionic clusters and the stability and observability of doubly ionized clusters. In KnMgm clusters, we have considered the evolution of the electronic spectrum and the variation of the binding energy with size and composition.
