The nanometer size clusters are often present in ZnO. We have calculated the vibrational frequencies of zinc oxide by using the density-functional theory. We synthesized clusters of ZnO starting with ZnOn and continue with Zn2On, Zn3On and Zn4On with n = 1, 2, 3 and 4. By minimizing the energy of th...
