A systematic study of the geometric, electronic, and vibrational properties of the Ni 5 Sn and Ni 6 Sn clusters using both the local and the gradient-corrected approximations to the density functional theory is presented in this work. The ionisation potentials and electron affinities are also calculated for the stable neutral clusters. Population analyses are used to investigate charge...
