The geometric structures and stabilities of small Zr_mOn (1≤m≤5, 1≤n≤2m) clusters were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations with the Perdew-Wang exchange correlation functional and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The lowest energy structures of all these clusters were obtained by the sequential oxidation of the small “core” zirconium clusters. In general, the O atoms prefer the bridge sites along the Zr_m skeleton. The ground-state structures of the (ZrO₂)₃ and (ZrO₂)₅ clusters are consistent with coordination number rules and bonding regularity. The fragmentation channels and fragmentation energies of the small zirconium oxide clusters were discussed. We found that the Zr_mO_2m-1 clusters (not including Zr₄O₇) had the largest fragmentation energy among the clusters with the same number of zirconium atoms.
