Characterization of copper clusters through the use of density functional theory reactivity descriptors

Jaque, P; Toro-Labbe, A

Abstract

A study was conducted on small neutral copper clusters at the B3PW91 level of theory combined with pseudopotentials. The results of geometry, binding energy, and ionization potential showed good agreement with experimental and other theoretical data. As such, it was found that clusters with an even number of copper atoms were more stable than clusters with an odd number of atoms.
