Abstract

As in earlier investigations on group V clusters, homonuclear clusters X m of heavy group VI atoms ( X = Se, Te) up to m = 6 have been studied with valence ab initio self consistent field/configuration integration calculations using energy-adjusted pseudopotentials. Several structures have been investigated and results are given for bond lengths ( R e ), atomization energies ( D e ) and vertical ionization potentials of the ground states. Comparison with experimental and other theoretical values is made where possible, and differences from the corresponding group V clusters are discussed.
