Abstract

We have investigated the lowest-energy structures and electronic properties of the Cu n(n = 2–10) nanoclusters based on density functional theory (DFT) in local density approximation. The total energies, binding energies per atom, bond lengths, HOMO-LUMO gaps and ionization potentials have been calculated. The results are compared well with other theoretical and available experimental results.
