Abstract
The stability of Al13, Cu13 and Ni13 clusters of various symmetries has been studied by a semi-empirical self-consistent Hartree-Fock approach based on an INDO-type (intermediate neglect of differential overlap) Hamiltonian. The authors have compared FCC, HCP, and icosahedral structures as well as an amorphous model. The calculated energy minimum always corresponds to the icosahedral arrangement.Keywords
