title = "The gaussian-type orbitals density-functional approach to finite systems",
abstract = "The linear combination of Gaussian-type orbitals (LCGTO) approach to Xa and density functional theory is reviewed, with particular emphasis on applications to large molecules and clusters. Fitting the potential is central to the LCGTO approach, and efficient and accurate ways to do so are described. Model cluster calculations apply these methods to the adsorption of alkali atoms and carbon monoxide on transition metal surfaces as well as the problem of CO vibrational shifts upon alkali coadsorption.",

note = "Funding Information: increases as the square root of the number of points. As an alternative, a stationarity principle has been discussed that is restricted to the Xa form of the XC functional, however. This latter form would have the added benefit of allowing the calculation of completely analytical energy gradients, an indispensible tool for geometry studies of complex compounds, with their often soft motions on potential surfaces embedded in high-dimensional spaces. We have presented an application to an important chemisorption problem that also demonstrates the class of problems that may be tackled with the GTO formalism today. Not only can we study relatively simple effects in adsorbation, such as the vibrational frequencies of various adsorbed atoms and diatomics in the low coverage limit, but, given sufficient insight, we have the computational means available to attack problems in more complex adsorbate systems, such as to quantify how alkali metal coadsorption lowers the vibrational frequency of carbon monoxide so much.
