A Density Functional Study of PdCn(n= 2-12) Clusters

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have studied the structures and electronic properties of PdCn (n=2-12) using the density functional theory in this paper. Though calculating, we found that the linear isomers are most stable for PdCn(n=2-9) clusters. N=10 is turning point, and the bicyclical structure is most stable for PdC10 cluster. Cyclic structures have the lowest energy for PdC11 and PdC12 clusters.
