Ab initio study of structural stability of small 3d late transition metal clusters: Interplay of magnetization and hybridization

Using first-principles density-functional-theory–based calculations, we analyze the structural stability of small clusters of 3d late transition metals. We consider the relative stability of the two structures: layer-like structures with hexagonal closed packed stacking and more compact structures o...
