Abstract
A semi-empirical pseudopotential method to determine the structural properties of small atomic clusters is presented. The method combines a linear combination of Gaussian orbitals, an atomic-like pseudopotential and a valence force field description to determine the structural energies of small clusters. This procedure is easy to implement and accurately reproduces the structural properties of silicon clusters as determined from more rigorous techniques.
