The structural and electronic properties for the global minimum structures of medium-sized
neutral, anionic and cationic Si n μ (n= 20–30, μ= 0,− 1 and+ 1) clusters have been studied …

We present gas-phase infrared spectra for small silicon cluster cations possessing between
6 and 21 atoms. Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IR-MPD) of these clusters complexed …

Understanding the bonding between silicon and transition metals is valuable for devising
strategies for incorporating magnetic species into silicon. CrSi12 is the standard example of …

The growth mechanisms of small cationic silicon clusters containing up to 11 Si atoms,
exohedrally doped by V and Cu atoms, are described. We find that as dopants, V and Cu …

The authors describe simultaneous interfacial misfit (IMF) array formation along with
antiphase domain (APD) suppression in highly mismatched (Δ a 0/a 0= 13%) AlSb grown on …

The far-infrared vibrational spectra for charged vanadium clusters with sizes of 3–15 atoms
have been measured using infrared multiple photon dissociation of V n+ Ar→ V n++ Ar⁠ …

The authors predict that for the Ge n Co (n= 1–13) clusters the magnetic moment does not
quench, which is dark contrast to the previous results with transition-metal-doped Si n …

In this work, the structures of cationic SinNb+ (n= 4–12) clusters are determined using the
combination of infrared multiple photon dissociation (IR-MPD) and density functional theory …

Isomerization pathways of hexasilabenzene (Si6H6) were theoretically searched by using
the anharmonic-downward-distortion-following (ADD-following) method, which is a recently …

Ever since the discovery of C60, much effort has been expended in search of similar, finite-
size stable clusters as building blocks for nanostructures.[1] Apart from carbon, silicon has …
