Abstract
Using ab initio SCF-LCAO-MO theory, studies have been made on small clusters of lithium, beryllium, magnesium, and carbon atoms. These studies include the investigation of the equilibrium geometries, relative stabilities, and the evolution of various structural and electronic properties. The study of the electronic properties shows that the geometries of the clusters have a direct relationship with their spin configurations. The effects of foreign atoms on the properties of clusters have been investigated using clusters of LiNNa, LiNMg, and LiNAl. The effect of ionization on cluster stability and the dissociation channels of multiply ionized clusters are also discussed.
