The vibrational properties of alkaline-earth metal fluoride clusters (BaF2)n (n=1-6) are investigated in the framework of density functional theory. The calculated Raman and Infrared (IR) spectra reveals shift in Raman and IR peak position towards lower frequency region with the increase in the cluster size. Further the calculated spectra have been compared with the experimental vibrational spectra of bulk BaF2 crystal. Even though the smaller size cluster lacks translational symmetry, the structural and vibrational characteristic of (BaF2)5-6 are nearer to bulk counterpart.

Morphology and its stability are essential features to address physicochemical properties of metallic nanoparticles. By means of Molecular Dynamics based simulations we show a complex dependence on the size and material of common structural mechanism
s taking place in mono-metallic nanoparticles at icosahedral magic sizes. We show that the well known Lipscomb s Diamond Square Diamond mechanisms, single step screw dislocation motions of the whole cluster, take place only below a given size which is material dependent. Above that size, layer by layer dislocations and/or surface peeling are likely to happen, leading to low symmetry defected motifs. The material dependence of this critical size is similar to the crossover sizes among structural motifs, based on the ration between the bulk modulus and atomic cohesive energy.
We present a systematic study of the photo-absorption spectra of various Si$_{n}$H$_{m}$ clusters (n=1-10, m=1-14) using the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The method uses a real-time, real-space implementation of TDDFT involving f
ull propagation of the time dependent Kohn-Sham equations. Our results for SiH$_{4}$ and Si$_{2}$H$_{6}$ show good agreement with the earlier calculations and experimental data. We find that for small clusters (n<7) the photo-absorption spectrum is atomic-like while for the larger clusters it shows bulk-like behaviour. We study the photo-absorption spectra of silicon clusters as a function of hydrogenation. For single hydrogenation, we find that in general, the absorption optical gap decreases and as the number of silicon atoms increase the effect of a single hydrogen atom on the optical gap diminishes. For further hydrogenation the optical gap increases and for the fully hydrogenated clusters the optical gap is larger compared to corresponding pure silicon clusters.
An expansion of energy characteristics of wide thin slab of thickness L in power of 1/L is constructed using the free-electron approximation and the model of a potential well of finite depth. Accuracy of results in each order of the expansion is anal
yzed. Size dependences of the work function and electronic elastic force for Au and Na slabs are calculated. It is concluded that the work function of low-dimensional metal structure is always smaller that of semi-infinite metal sample. A mechanism for the Coulomb instability of charged metal clusters, different from Rayleighs one, is discussed. The two-component model of a metallic cluster yields the different critical sizes depending on a kind of charging particles (electrons or ions). For the cuboid clusters, the electronic spectrum quantization is taken into account. The calculated critical sizes of Ag_{N}^{2-} and Au_{N}^{3-} clusters are in a good agreement with experimental data. A qualitative explanation is suggested for the Coulomb explosion of positively charged Na_{N}^{n+} clusters at 3<n<5.
We present a study of the optical response of compact and hollow icosahedral clusters containing up to 868 silver atoms by means of time-dependent density functional theory. We have studied the dependence on size and morphology of both the sharp plas
monic resonance at 3-4 eV (originated mainly from $sp$-electrons), and the less studied broader feature appearing in the 6-7 eV range (interband transitions). An analysis of the effect of structural relaxations, as well as the choice of exchange correlation functional (local density versus generalized gradient approximations) both in the ground state and optical response calculations is also presented. We have further analysed the role of the different atom layers (surface versus inner layers) and the different orbital symmetries on the absorption cross-section for energies up to 8 eV. We have also studied the dependence on the number of atom layers in hollow structures. Shells formed by a single layer of atoms show a pronounced red shift of the main plasmon resonances that, however, rapidly converge to those of the compact structures as the number of layers is increased. The methods used to obtain these results are also carefully discussed. Our methodology is based on the use of localized basis (atomic orbitals, and atom-centered- and dominant- product functions), which bring several computational advantages related to their relatively small size and the sparsity of the resulting matrices. Furthermore, the use of basis sets of atomic orbitals also brings the possibility to extend some of the standard population analysis tools (e.g., Mulliken population analysis) to the realm of optical excitations. Some examples of these analyses are described in the present work.
A series of the lead chalcogenide clusters PbnXn (X=S,Se; n=4,8,16,32) with structures as fragments of the bulk crystalline lattice are calculated at DFT level with B3LYP functional and ECP basis set. Optical absorption spectra are simulated through
the TDDFT method. The results are in consistence with experimental data PbS and PbSe for magic size clusters of this size range.
