Abstract
The magnetic properties of 55-atom Fe, Co and Ni clusters are studied using the local spin-density formalism. The dependence of magnetic moment on clu ster symmetry is found to be also cluster size dependent. The symmetry of c luster plays an important role in determining the charge distribution. The surface magnetism enhancement are found to be decreased from Fe to Ni. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
