Cra. Catlow et al., COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES OF THE STRUCTURES, ENERGETICS AND DYNAMICS OF CLUSTERS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 122(3), 1997, pp. 301-310
We review the application of computational methods to the science of b
oth metallic and ionic clusters. We describe the role of both electron
ic structure and interatomic potential based techniques. We pay specia
l attention to the effect on cluster structures of their interaction w
ith the surfaces of ionic materials.
