Stabilized Spin-Polarized Jellium Model and Odd-Even Alternations in Jellium Metal Clusters
In this paper, we have considered the mechanical stability of a jellium system in the presence of spin degrees of freedom and have generalized the stabilized jellium model, introduced by J. P. Perdew, H. Q. Tran, and E. D. Smith [ Phys. Rev. B 42, 11627 (1990)], to a spin-polarized case. By applying this generalization to metal clusters (Al, Ga, Li, Na, K, Cs), we gain additional insights about...
متن کاملEquilibrium sizes of jellium metal clusters in the stabilized spin-polarized jellium model
We have used the stabilized spin-polarized jellium model to calculate the equilibrium sizes of metal clusters. Our self-consistent calculations in the local spin-density approximation show that for an N -electron cluster, the equilibrium is achieved for a configuration in which the difference in the numbers of up-spin and down-spin electrons is zero or unity, depending on the total number of el...
متن کاملChemical bonding and aromaticity in trinuclear transition-metal halide clusters.
Trinuclear transition-metal complexes such as Re(3)X(9) (X = Cl, Br, I), with their uniquely featured structure among metal halides, have posed intriguing questions related to multicenter electron delocalization for several decades. Here we report a comprehensive study of the technetium halide clusters [Tc(3)(μ-X)(3)X(6)](0/1-/2-) (X = F, Cl, Br, I), isomorphous with their rhenium congeners, pr...
متن کاملTuning aromaticity in trigonal alkaline earth metal clusters and their alkali metal salts
In this work, we analyze the geometry and electronic structure of the [X(n)M(3)](n-2) species (M = Be, Mg, and Ca; X = Li, Na, and K; n = 0, 1, and 2), with special emphasis on the electron delocalization properties and aromaticity of the cyclo-[M(3)](2-) unit. The cyclo-[M(3)](2-) ring is held together through a three-center two-electron bond of sigma-character. Interestingly, the interaction ...
متن کاملFragmentation of multiply charged simple metal clusters in liquid-drop stabilized jellium model
In this work, we have used the liquid-drop model in the context of stabilized jellium model, to study the stability of Z-ply charged metal clusters of different species against fragmentation. We have shown that on the one hand, singly ionized clusters are stable against any spontaneous fragmentation, and on the other hand, the most favored decay process for them is atomic evaporation. However, ...
