Abstract

In this communication we study the equilibrium shapes and energetics of Cu clusters of various sizes upto 20 atoms using the Full-Potential Tight Binding Muffin-tin Orbitals Molecular Dynamics. We compare our results with earlier works by physicists and chemists using different methodologies.
