RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Structures and stabilities of doubly charged (MgO) n(Mg)+1 n=1–29 cluster ions A1 Aguado Rodríguez, Andrés A1 López Gejo, Francisco A1 López Rodríguez, José Manuel K1 Iones AB Ab initio perturbed ion plus polarization calculations are reported for doubly chargednonstoichiometric (MgO)nMg21 (n=1 – 29) cluster ions. We consider a large number of isomerswith full relaxations of the geometries, and add the correlation correction to the Hartree–Fockenergies for all cluster sizes. The polarization contribution is included at a semiempirical level alsofor all cluster sizes. Comparison is made with theoretical results for neutral (MgO)n clusters andsingly charged alkali–halide cluster ions. Our method is also compared to phenomenological pairpotential models in order to assess their reliability for calculations on small ionic systems. The largecoordination-dependent polarizabilities of oxide anions favor the formation of surface sites, and thusbulk-like structures begin to dominate only after n524. The relative stabilities of the cluster ionsagainst evaporation of an MgO molecule show variations that are in excellent agreement with theexperimental abundance spectra PB American Institute of Physics YR 1999 FD 1999 LK http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/2506 UL http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/2506 LA eng NO Journal of Chemical Physics v. 110, n. 10, (1999) p. 4788-4796 NO Producción Científica DS UVaDOC RD 19-abr-2024
