Abstract
Tunable nano-materials are becoming increasingly important in both theoretical and experimental studies, and as such it is important to have a better understanding of their properties. To that end we have carried out a density functional study of a series of transition metal-doped endohedral gold clusters. We have predicted a variety of properties for these clusters, as well as the optical and photo-electron spectra for each.
