Novel Si-Ge-C Superlattices for “More than Moore” CMOS
The search for Silicon-based direct band-gap semiconductors is more relevant than ever for “More than Moore” CMOS. Monolithically-integrated novel crystalline materials are key to enabling increased performance and new functionalities, such as efficient light absorption and emission. Si-Ge-C SuperLattices [1] are highly ordered synthetic crystals having direct band-gaps and large oscillator str...
متن کاملStructures and relative stability of medium- and large-sized silicon clusters. VI. Fullerene cage motifs for low-lying clusters Si(39), Si(40), Si(50), Si(60), Si(70), and Si(80).
We performed a constrained search, combined with density-functional theory optimization, of low-energy geometric structures of silicon clusters Si(39), Si(40), Si(50), Si(60), Si(70), and Si(80). We used fullerene cages as structural motifs to construct initial configurations of endohedral fullerene structures. For Si(39), we examined six endohedral fullerene structures using all six homolog C(...
متن کاملExcitons in small hydrogenated Si clusters
The excitonic states of four small hydrogenated Si clusters (SiH4 ,Si2H6 ,Si5H12 , and Si10H16! are studied using the diffusion quantum Monte Carlo approach. The importance of using accurate guiding wave functions is stressed and we show that the quantum chemical singles-only configuration interaction method and the time-dependent density functional theory within the adiabatic local-density app...
متن کاملCalculated polarizabilities of small Si clusters
The polarizabilities of Si clusters with 9 to 28 atoms are calculated using a density functional cluster method. The atomic geometries are based on those carefully optimized by energy minimization. The polarizability shows fairly irregular variation with cluster size, but all calculated values are higher than the polarizability of a dielectric sphere with bulk dielectric constant and equivalent...
متن کاملFormation of metal-encapsulating Si cage clusters.
We report the formation of a series of metal-containing hydrogenated silicon clusters using an ion trap. Mass analyses reveal that many types of transition metal ions M(+) ( M = Hf, Ta, W, Re, Ir, etc.) react with silane (SiH4) to form dehydrogenated MSi( +)(n) cluster ions ( n = 14, 13, 12, 11, 9, respectively) as an end product, indicating that the metal atom is endohedral and stabilizes the ...
