Electronic structure of Al clusters containing 3 d impurity atoms: Fe, Co, and Ni
The size dependence of the electronic structure of Al clusters containing 3d impurity atoms, Fe, Co and Ni, has been self-consistently calculated within the model of an atom built-in in a spherical jellium cluster and the local-density functional theory. It is found that the electronic structure of Al jellium clusters containing an impurity 3d atom at the center periodically changes with an increase in cluster size.
