The ground state and several low-lyingisomers are identified and described. Rocksalt ground states are common and appear at cluster sizes lower thanin the corresponding neutral systems. The most salient features of the measured mobilities seem to be explainedby arguments related to the changes of the compactness of the clusters as a function of size. Thestability of the cluster ions against evaporation of a single alkali halide molecule shows variations that explainthe enhanced stabilities found experimentally for cluster sizes n54, 6, 9, and 13. Finally, the ionizationenergies and the orbital eigenvalue spectrum of two (NaI)13Na1 isomers are calculated and shown to be afingerprint of the structure. @ PB The American Physical Society YR 1998 FD 1998 LK http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/2505 UL http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/2505 LA eng NO Physical Review B, v. 58, n. 15, (1998) p. 9972-9979 NO Producción Científica DS UVaDOC RD 28-nov-2024
