The discovery of carbon fullerene cages and their solids opened a new avenue to build
materials from stable cage clusters as “artificial atoms” or “superatoms” instead of atoms …

Metal doped silicon clusters with potential applications in the field of optoelectronics,
magnetic and nanomaterials have been extensively studied during last decade. Here in, a …

We report the formation of a series of metal-containing hydrogenated silicon clusters using
an ion trap. Mass analyses reveal that many types of transition metal ions M+(M= Hf, Ta, W …

We report metal-encapsulated caged clusters of silicon from ab initio pseudopotential plane
wave calculations using generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation …

We have studied geometric and electronic structures of metal (M) atom doped silicon (Si)
clusters, MSin (M= Ti, Hf, Mo and W), using mass spectrometry, a chemical-probe method …

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

First principles electronic structure calculations have been carried out to examine the
stability of cationic, neutral, and anionic M Si 15, M Si 16, and M Si 17 (M= Sc, Ti, and V) …

In this work, Ti deposited C 20, Si 20, and KSi 20 as hydrogen storage materials have been
studied utilizing the DFT (B3LYP and M06-2X)/6-311 g (d, p). The encapsulated K atom in …

In this paper, we present a mass spectrometric stability investigation of a series of metal
doped group IVA (semi-) metal clusters. Binary metal (M) doped semi-metal (S) MSn (S= Si …

The photoelectron spectra of chromium-doped silicon cluster anions, Cr Si n−⁠, were
measured over the size range, n= 8–12⁠. Their vertical detachment energies were …
