Abstract

The first-principles studies of the geometry and energetics of the Si ₃₆ cluster were performed. Results showed that the tricapped-trigonal-prism unit is not the structural unit for Si ₃₆ , and the stable structure is identified to have a more spherical geometry derived from the stuffed fullerene configurations. The structure was more stable in energy and more spherical in shape as compared to those of TTP wire.
