Finite Temperature Behavior of Small Silicon and Tin Clusters: An Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Study

Sailaja Krishnamurty, Kavita Joshi, D. G. Kanhere +1

The finite temperature behavior of small Silicon (Si${}_{10}$, Si${}_{15}$, and Si${}_{20}$) and Tin (Sn${}_{10}$ and Sn${}_{20}$) clusters is studied using isokinetic Born-Oppenheimer molec…
