Large silicon clusters: Confirmation of Phillips' conjecture
Chemical Physics Letters
(1988)
Abstract
This paper attempts to verify the hypothesis put forward by Phillips that large silicon clusters are arranged in a cylindrical shape, as stacked quasigraphitic rings. It is shown that the periodic variations in reactivity can probably be explained by this hypothesis. A tight-binding calculation is employed, and the geometry and charge distribution of clusters ranging in size from 30 to 45 atoms is explored.
