摘要： The structural stability and magnetic properties of the icosahedral Ni$_{13}$, Ni$_{13}^{ + 1}$ and Ni$_{13}^{ - 1}$ clusters have been obtained by utilizing all-electron density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximations for the exchange-correlation energy. The calculated results show that the ground states of neutral and charged clusters all favour a $D_{3d}$ structure, a distorted icosahedron, due to the Jahn--Teller effect. The radial distortions caused by doping one electron and by doping one hole are opposite to each other. Doping one electron will result in a 1/2 decrease and doping one hole will result in a 1/2 increase of the total spin. Both increasing interatomic spacing and decreasing coordination will lead to an enhancement of the spin magnetic moments for Ni$_{13}$ clusters.
