摘要
Employing the density functional theory, we investigate the lowest-energy geometric, the stable and the electronic properties of Agn-1Y (n = 2-10) clusters in this paper. The structural optimization and the frequency analysis are performed at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level. Meanwhile, the differences in geometry, stability and electronic properties between Ag-n and Agn-1Y (n = 2-10) clusters are also studied. The results show that for the doping of the yttrium atoms, the structures and the average binding lengths of the Ag-n clusters are greatly changed. In addition, the thermodynamic stabilities of the Ag-n clusters are enhanced generally with the doping of the Y atoms. In addition, the chemical stabilities of the Agn-1Y clusters are still improved compared with that of the three-dimensional Ag-n clusters.
