Theoretical Study of the Stability of $\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{u}}_{\mathrm{n}}\mathrm{G}{\mathrm{e}}_{\mathrm{m}}$ Clusters

Danielle McDermott, Kathie E. Newman

We investigate the properties of clusters formed from two connected $\mathrm{G}{\mathrm{e}}_{\mathrm{m}}$ cage-like clusters, such as experimentally synthesized $\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{u}}_3\mathrm{G}{\mathrm{e}}_{18}^{5-}$, using firs…
