Abstract

Ab initio calculations of the atomic and electronic structures of Cu _N and Na_N (N = 2 - 22) clusters show similar growth behaviors. These can be characterized into 3 regimes: planar, layered and 3D structures. Atomic structures lead to anomalies in the even-odd alternation behavior of the second order energy difference for N = 16 and 17 in both Cu _N and Na_N. The effects of sp-d hybridization on the atomic and electronic structures of Cu_N clusters are discussed.
