40. A spin arrangement in any magnetic clusters is magnetically stable only if the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the majority spin lies above the HOMO of the minority spin and vice versa.

42. It should be noted that the pure Co3 has two degenerate ground states with 1.67 μB /atom and 2.33 μB /atom.
43. Icosahedral, hcp, cobooctahedral, and distorted hcp [which was found to be the ground state of pure Co13 cluster (see Ref.)] structures and their inequivalent homotops are considered as initial structures for Mn2 Co11 nanocluster.
