摘要/Abstract

摘要： This paper investigates the lowest-energy structures, stabilities and electronic properties of (BAs)_n clusters (n=1--14) by means of the density-functional theory. The results show that the lowest-energy structures undergo a structural change from two-dimensional to three-dimensional when n=4. With the increase of the cluster size (n≥6), the (BAs)_n clusters tend to adopt cage-like structures, which can be considered as being built from B₂As₂ and six-membered rings with B--As bond alternative arrangement. The binding energy per atom, second-order energy differences, vertical electron affinity and vertical ionization potential are calculated and discussed. The caculated HOMO--LUMO gaps reveal that the clusters have typical semiconductor characteristics. The analysis of partial density of states suggests that there are strong covalence and molecular characteristics in the clusters.

The results show that the lowest-energy structures undergo a structural change from two-dimensional to three-dimensional when n=4. With the increase of the cluster size (n≥6), the (BAs)_n clusters tend to adopt cage-like structures, which can be considered as being built from B₂As₂ and six-membered rings with B–As bond alternative arrangement. The binding energy per atom, second-order energy differences, vertical electron affinity and vertical ionization potential are calculated and discussed. The caculated HOMO–LUMO gaps reveal that the clusters have typical semiconductor characteristics. The analysis of partial density of states suggests that there are strong covalence and molecular characteristics in the clusters.
