Structures and relative stability of neutral gold clusters: Aun (n=15-19).
We performed a global-minimum search for low-lying neutral clusters (Au(n)) in the size range of n=15-19 by means of basin-hopping method coupled with density functional theory calculation. Leading candidates for the lowest-energy clusters are identified, including four for Au(15), two for Au(16), three for Au(17), five for Au(18), and one for Au(19). For Au(15) and Au(16) we find that the shel...
متن کاملGold clusters „AuN , 2ÏNÏ10... and their anions
Atomic and electronic structures of neutral and anionic gold clusters (AuN and AuN 2 , 2<N<10) are investigated using the density-functional theory with scalar-relativistic ab initio pseudopotentials and a generalized gradient correction. The ground state optimal geometries of the neutral and anionic clusters are found to be planar up to N57 and 6, respectively, with the much studied Au6 2 clus...
متن کاملGas-phase structures of neutral silicon clusters.
Vibrational spectra of neutral silicon clusters Si(n), in the size range of n = 6-10 and for n = 15, have been measured in the gas phase by two fundamentally different IR spectroscopic methods. Silicon clusters composed of 8, 9, and 15 atoms have been studied by IR multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy of a cluster-xenon complex, while clusters containing 6, 7, 9, and 10 atoms have been stu...
متن کاملAdsorption of Ethylene on Neutral, Anionic and Cationic Gold Clusters
The adsorption of ethylene molecule on neutral, anionic and cationic gold clusters consisting of up to 10 atoms has been investigated using density-functional theory. It is demonstrated that C2H4 can be adsorbed on small gold clusters in two different configurations, corresponding to the πand di-σ -bonded species. Adsorption in the π-bonded mode dominates over the di-σ mode over all considered ...
متن کاملStructures and relative stability of medium-sized silicon clusters. V. Low-lying endohedral fullerenelike clusters Si31-Si40 and Si45.
We have performed unconstrained search for low-lying structures of medium-sized silicon clusters Si(31)-Si(40) and Si(45), by means of the minimum-hopping global optimization method coupled with a density-functional based tight-binding model of silicon. Subsequent geometric optimization by using density-functional theory with the PBE, BLYP, and B3LYP functionals was carried out to determine the...
