Ig. Kaplan et al., SIZE EFFECTS AND THE ROLE OF NONADDITIVE FORCES IN NEUTRAL AND ANIONIC SILVER-CLUSTER STABILITY, Surface review and letters, 3(1), 1996, pp. 235-239
The precise quantum-chemical study of neutral and anionic silver clust
ers manifests the pronounced size effect for the vertical ionization p
otential (VIP), vertical detachment energy (VDE), and atomic detachmen
t energy (epsilon(1)). The additive and nonadditive contributions to t
he binding energy of clusters are calculated and their role in the clu
ster stability is discussed.
