摘要：

Density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP method and the SDD basis set is selected to investigate InnNi, InnNi-, and InnNi+ (n=1-14) clusters. For neutral and charged systems, several isomers and different multiplicities are studied with the aim to confirm the most stable structures. The structural evolution of neutral, cationic, and anionic InnNi clusters, which favors the three-dimensional structures for n=3-14. The main configurations of the InnNi isomers are not affected by adding or removing an electron, the order of their stabilities is also nearly not affected. The obtained binding energy exhibits that the Ni-doped In13 cluster is the most stable species of all different sized clusters. The calculated fragmentation energy and the second-order energy difference as a function of the cluster size exhibit a pronounced even-odd alternation phenomenon. The electronic properties including energy gap (Eg), adiabatic electron affinity (AEA), vertical electron detachment energy (VDE), adiabatic ionization potential energy (AIP), and vertical ionization potential energy (VIP) are studied. The total magnetic moments show that the different magnetic moments depend on the number of the In atoms for charged InnNi. Additionally, the natural population analysis of InnNi(0, ±1) clusters is also discussed.
