Abstract: A transferable tight-binding potential for Ni has been developed. Molecular dynamics methods and simulated annealing techniques have been used to study the structural properties of Ni clusters with this potential. We have obtained the structures of some Ni clusters. The average coordination number, ionization potentials and the stability of clusters have also been calculated.
