Structure, stability and optical absorption spectra of small Ti${}_n$C${}_x$ clusters: a first-principles approach

Sergio Gámez-Valenzuela, Julio A. Alonso, Gonzalo Santoro +1

Titanium-carbide molecular clusters are thought to form in the circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of carbon-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch stars (AGBs) but, to date, their detection has…
