Novel Features in 2D and 3D Neutral, Cationic, and Anionic Gold Clusters Au_{5 \leq n \leq 8}^Z (Z = 0, \pm)

F. Remacle, E. S. Kryachko

Low-energy structures are found on the potential energy surfaces of the neutral, cationic, and anionic gold clusters Au_{5 \leq n \leq 8}^Z (Z = 0, \pm) and on the neutral potentia…
