摘要
Several levels of theory, including both Gaussian-based and plane wave density functional theory (DFT), second-order perturbation theory (MP2), and coupled cluster methods (CCSD(T)), are employed to study Au-6 and Au-8 clusters. All methods predict that the lowest energy isomer of Au-6 is planar. For Au-8, both DFT methods predict that the two lowest isomers are planar. In contrast, both MP2 and CCSD(T) predict the lowest Au-8 isomers to be nonplanar.
