Popis: The lowest-energy geometric and isomers of freestanding Co n clusters (n = 2 - 10) and their corresponding magnetic moments have been studied using the Siesta code based on pseudopotential density-functional theory. The calculated results show that there are many isomers near the ground state. Different isomers hold different magnetic moment. The stability study shows that among the investigated clusters, the hexamer one is the most stable and is the magic cluster. Dissociation channels energy are also studied.
