Theoretical study of lithium clusters by electronic stress tensor
We study the electronic structure of small lithium clusters Lin (n = 2 ∼ 8) using the electronic stress tensor. We find that the three eigenvalues of the electronic stress tensor of the Li clusters are negative and degenerate, just like the stress tensor of liquid. This leads us to propose that we m...
