Evolution in the structural and bonding properties of Aluminum-Lithium clusters

S. Chacko, D. G. Kanhere, V. V. Paranjape

We present a systematic study of the geometries, energetics, electronic structure and bonding in various Al-Li clusters viz. AlnLin ($n$=1-11), Al${}_2^{-}$, Al${}_2^{2-}$, Al${}_2$Li, Al$…
