52. In a previous study (Ref.) we have calculated at HF level the polarizabilities of those species, at MP2/cc-pVDZ and MP2/6-31+G (d) optimized structures. In all cases the polarizabilities of those clusters are very close (±3%) to those computed on the B3LYP/6-31+G (d) equilibrium geometries.

58. The even-odd alternation observed in this study is not directly connected with the even-odd alternation that has been observed experimentally on the PPAs of GaAs clusters with even and odd numbers of atoms. In that case the oscillation of polarizability is observed among open and closed shell clusters.
