First-principles Monte Carlo simulated annealing study of the structures and properties of hydrogenated lithium clusters

Conference ·
OSTI ID:107071

The minimum-energy structures and bonding properties of the hydrogenated lithium clusters, Li{sub 4}H{sub 2} and Li{sub 7}H, have been investigated by means of an ab initio Monte Carlo simulated annealing method. The minimum-energy structures of Li{sub 4}H{sub 2} and Li{sub 7}H are found to resemble those of the triangular planar (D{sub 3h}) isomer of Li{sub 6} and T{sub d} isomer of Li{sub 8} clusters, respectively.
