Excitons in small hydrogenated Si clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 approximation can provide suitable zeroth-order approximations in these systems.

Thermochemical property estimation of hydrogenated silicon clusters.
The thermochemical properties for selected hydrogenated silicon clusters (Si(x)H(y), x = 3-13, y = 0-18) were calculated using quantum chemical calculations and statistical thermodynamics. Standard enthalpy of formation at 298 K and standard entropy and constant pressure heat capacity at various temperatures, i.e., 298-6000 K, were calculated for 162 hydrogenated silicon clusters using G3//B3LY...
متن کاملThermally induced structural transformations on polymorphous silicon
Polymorphous Si is a nanostructured form of hydrogenated amorphous Si that contains a small fraction of Si nanocrystals or clusters. Its thermally induced transformations such as relaxation, dehydrogenation, and crystallization have been studied by calorimetry and evolved gas analysis as a complementary technique. The observed behavior has been compared to that of conventional hydrogenated amor...
متن کاملSynthesis, microstructure and thermal properties of photoluminescent hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide nanopowders
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide photoluminescent nanopowders have been synthesized using a simple solution method involving the reaction of lithium with trichlorosilane in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. The powders exhibited maximum luminescent peak at 1.1 eV and had an average composition of SiO0.92H0.53. They possess inhomogeneous microstructures that contain a-Si clusters (Si3–Si–...

The most commonly used method for the production of thin films is based on deposition of atoms or molecules onto a solid surface. One of the suitable method is to produce high quality metallic, semiconductor and organic thin film is Ionized cluster beam deposition (ICBD), which are used in electronic, robotic, optical, optoelectronic devices. Many important factors such as cluster size, cluster...
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 ...
