In the past years significant interest in clusters has been developed due to their fundamental importance in both basic and applied science. This increasing interest is amply justified by the unique properties of clusters and by the promise these systems hold as components of optical, magnetic, and electronic sensors and devices. Especially alloy clusters are of increasing interest as the electric, magnetic and catalytic properties of a monometallic cluster can be improved by adding a second component. In order to optimize the materials properties for a given application, it is of paramount importance to have an accurate understanding of the relation between composition/cluster size on the one side and property on the other. Here, computer ...
