Full‐potential linear‐muffin‐tin‐orbital molecular‐dynamics (FP‐LMTO MD) calculations have been performed to investigate the structures and energies of small cluster Ge 10 . We get twenty three stable structures for Ge 10 . The results suggest that only five structures are stable among the six structures proposed before, the remainder undergoes a distortion to another more stable form. Making comparison with the structures of Si 10 cluster, we find that there are much in common between them. But their ground state structures are different.
