Growth Pattern of Silicon Clusters
Atul Bahel, Jun Pan, Mushti V. Ramakrishna
Tight-binding molecular dynamics simulated annealing technique is employed to search for the ground state geometries of silicon clusters containing 11-17 atoms. These studies revea…
Chemistry of Nanoscale Semiconductor Clusters
Jun Pan, Atul Bahel, Mushti V. Ramakrishna
The ground state structures of small silicon clusters are determined through exhaustive tight-binding molecular dynamics simulation studies. These simulations revealed that \Si{11}…
Structure of Silicon Clusters
Jun Pan, Atul Bahel, Mushti V. Ramakrishna
We determined the structures of silicon clusters in the 11-14 atom size range using the tight-binding molecular dynamics method. These calculations reveal that \Si{11} is an icosah…
Chemical Reactions of Silicon Clusters
Mushti V. Ramakrishna, Jun Pan
Smalley and co-workers discovered that chemisorption reactivities of silicon clusters vary over three orders of magnitude as a function of cluster size. In particular, they found t…
Magic Numbers of Silicon Clusters
Jun Pan, Mushti V. Ramakrishna
A structural model for intermediate sized silicon clusters is proposed that is able to generate unique structures without any dangling bonds. This structural model consists of bulk…
