Abstract

Changes in the atomic and electronic structures of free NaCl clusters as the cluster size function are analyzed based on density functional theory and the finite difference method. It is shown that the geometric atomic structure of clusters distorts more with decreasing size. Along with this, an increase in the HOMO-LUMO gap is observed.
