Efficient methods to calculate magnetically induced currents in metallic nanostructures are currently lacking. Here, the authors propose a theoretical method to compute and analyze magnetically induced currents in nanostructures validated for experimentally synthesized gold-based, hydrogen-containing ligand-protected clusters.
