Abstract:The structural properties, relative stabilities, electronic, and thermodynamic properties, of Li + Ne n (n = 1−20) clusters have been studied based on a pairwise model and density functional theory (DFT) methods. In the pairwise method, the potential energy surface considered interactions between Li + Ne, Ne − Ne, and many-body term. For the DFT calculations, the B3LYP functional combined with the 6−311 + + G (2d,2p) basis sets has been employed. In both methods, the Li + Ne 6 cluster demonstrated high stabili… Show more
