摘要
We have calculated the average magnetic moments per atom <(mu)over bar>(N) of iron clusters, Fe-N, as a function of cluster size in the range 9 less than or equal to N less than or equal to 229. The cluster geometries are assumed to be spherical portions of the bce lattice. The spin-polarized electronic structure has been calculated for the assumed structures with a self-consistent tight-binding model considering the 3d, 4s, and 4p valence electrons with global charge neutrality. The nonmonotonic decrease of the <(mu)over bar>(N) with increasing cluster size experimentally observed is obtained, although the oscillations are not well reproduced. The results are also discussed in comparison with other recent theoretical calculations. [S0163-1829(99)12821-2].
