摘要: A comparative structure and stability study is performed on a sequence of (MgO)n, (CaO)n, (SrO)n (BaO)n clusters, 4 ⩽ n ⩽ 12. The B3LYP functional employed to seek preferred cluster growth pathways. Similar stabilities are found for two strategies, one producing rock-salt-like structures, second which employs stacks hexagonal (MO)3 rings. Structures based rings slightly in the case MgO BaO, while CaO SrO rock salt structural analogue prevails. shift isomer order discussed terms packing spheres. small magnitude atomic size difference oxygen corresponding metal atoms implies preference structure. Larger |ΔRA| result ring-based structures.
