摘要： This paper investigates the geometrical structures and relative stabilities of neutral AlSn(n,=,2--9) using the density functional theory. Structural optimisation and frequency analysis are performed at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level. The ground state structures of the AlSn show that the sulfur atoms prefer not only to evenly distribute on both sides of the aluminum atom but also to form stable structures in AlSn clusters. The structures of pure Sn are fundamentally changed due to the doping of the Al atom. The fragmentation energies and the second-order energy differences are calculated and discussed. Among neutral AlSn(n,=,2--9) clusters, AlS4 and AlS6 are the most stable.
