Periodicity of molecular clusters based on symmetry-adapted orbital model

Prediction of stable clusters based on the jellium model is limited because of the usual assumption of their spherical symmetry. Here the authors propose a symmetry adapted orbital model by quantum chemistry calculations for the prediction of stable clusters with various shapes that obey a certain p...
