33. 19 amorphous (Ref. [8]) thus suggesting that non-local electron interactions are important in Au-clusters for search of minimal energy structures.
34. As a proof of principles, additional calculations performed on cations and anions of these Au-clusters show the exactly opposite behavior. The charged odd-membered clusters are less polarizable than the even ones.
