Abstract

Recent self-consistent-field Xalpha scattered-wave (SCF-Xα-SW) molecular-orbital studies of the electronic structures, chemical bonding, and related (e.g. catalytic, magnetic, and superconducting) properties of metal and alloy clusters are reviewed, including results for: (1) Li clusters, (2) Cu, Ni, Pd, and Pt clusters, (3) relativistic contributions to cluster electronic structure, (4) the interaction of hydrogen with Ni, Pd, and Pt clusters, (5) metal-support (Pt-SiO2 and Ru-SiO2) interactions, (6) magnetism of Fe clusters, (7) cluster models of transition-metal impurities and their magnetic properties in copper and aluminum hosts, (8) cluster models of intermetallic compounds and solid-solution alloys, (9) cluster models of amorphous alloys, and (10) cluster molecular-orbital models of superconductors.
