Abstract

All-electron scalar relativistic calculations of the geometric and electronic structures of neutral subnanometer Tcn (n = 2–15) clusters have been performed using spin-polarized density functional theory. It is shown that the structural evolution of Tcnclusters from n = 3 to n = 8 is similar to Mn clusters, which also belong to the group of VIIB transition metals. The calculated binding energy per atom varies gradually from 0.65 eV for Tc2 to 2.35 eV for Tc15. The computed electron affinity and ionization potential follow the classical electrostatic metallic droplet model for clusters larger than Tc6 and converge asymptotically to the experimental value of the bulk Tc work function. A study of the kinetic stability of Tc clusters in terms of the second difference of binding energies and the energy gap between the frontier orbital states predicts Tc3(D3h), Tc4(Td), Tc6(Oh), Tc12(Ih), and Tc13(Ih) to be the most stable clusters. Vibrational spectra of Tc clusters are also provided for further experimental identification.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
