        Applications of Density-Functional Theory to Clusters

                    Washington D.C. 20375-5345

Recent applications of the density-functional theory to clusters and
cluster assembled materials will be discussed. The talk will be 
divided into three parts. First, recent efforts to develop a massively 
parallel O(N) all-electron density functional code and to implement
pseudopotentials will be discussed. Second, I will discuss recent work
aimed at explaining the temperature dependence of photoelectron spectra 
of charged halide dificient CsCl clusters. Finally, recent work on
the magnetic properties of transition metal clusters will be discussed.
