Abstract Clusters represented the initial state of condensed matter, which was a special phase in the transition of various substances from atoms and molecules to bulk substances. Through the study of rare earth clusters, it was helpful to understand the morphology and mechanism of rare earth elements in matrix materials, so as to further understand the physical and chemical properties of atomic clusters, and provide theoretical support and predictability for the design and research of materials. In this paper, the general gradient approximation (GGA) in density functional theory was used to optimize the structure, analyze the energy and vibration frequency of Lan(n= 2—10) clusters, and obtained the lowest energy structure of La clusters. By calculating and analyzing the average binding energy, energy gap, dissociation energy, second-order energy diffe-rence and total density of states of the ground state structure, it was considered that the stability of the cluster is higher when the atomic number n was 2, 4, 6, or 8. A small decrease in the density of states at the Fermi surface led to the occurrence of this odd-even oscillation phenomenon.
