Abshaet A detailed thwretical study of the electmonic s&chlre of msition metal nanotips is performed in the tigh-binding scheme. The real space recursion method is used to determine the local densities of states (LDOS) of the nanotips. We consider more especially the W supported pyramidal tips and W pyramidal dusters with different morphologies. The apex LDOS of perfect supponed tips are found to be quite different from those of surfaces and of clusten having the same morphology. The stability of the supported nanotips of different morphologies is also examined.
