Chemically speaking, atomic clusters are very rich, allowing their application in a broad range of technological areas such as developing functional materials, heterogeneous catalysis, and building optical devices. In this work, high level computational chemistry methods were used in a systematic manner to improve the characterization of small clusters formed by boron, silicon, germanium, mixed boron/silicon, and mixed boron/germanium. Calculations were carried out with both ab initio [MP2 and CCSD(T)] and density functional (B3LYP) methods with extended basis sets.
