Symmetry breaking and structural distortions in charged XH${}_4$(X = C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb) molecules

D. Balamurgan, Manoj. K. Harbola, R. Prasad

We have investigated the ground state structures of neutral and charged XH${}_4$(X=C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb) molecules using the first-principles electronic structure methods. The stru…
