Abstract
The effects of three-body non-additivities on the most stable structures of Ar-n(+) (3 less than or equal to n less than or equal to 27) clusters have been investigated in an extended diatomics-in-molecules (DIM) approach. No nadditive interaction terms for both the neutral and the ionic trimer have been included explicitly in the DIM Hamiltonian. Structural rearrangement i s observed for a number of cluster sizes due to induced dipole-induced dipo le interactions.
