Electron localization in alkali-halide clusters
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The quantum path-integral molecular-dynamics method was applied to explore the structure, energetics, and dynamics of an excess electron interacting with an alkali-halide cluster. Four distinct modes of electron localization were established, which depend on the cluster composition, size, and structure; they involve an internal F-defect, an external surface state, dissociative detachment of an alkali atom, and structural isometrization induced by electron attachment.
