摘要
The structural, energetic and magnetic properties of MnC(M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, n = 1-6) Clusters are systematically investigated by density-functional calculations. We found that the ground-state geometrical structures Of M,,C Clusters are different from those Of pure Mn+1 clusters. Fe4C, Ni2C and Cu4C possess relatively higher stabilities. Doping of a C atom enhances the binding energy of M-n Clusters, and the binding energies of Fe-n-C, Co-n-C and Ni-n-C are stronger than that of Cu-n-C. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
