摘要
Ab initio calculations have been performed on the electronic structures for some semiconductor-metal alloy clusters AunSim (n,m=1-4), upon which very stable cubiclike clusters X4Y4 (X=Cu,Ag,Au,Ti; Y=C,Si) have been found. The calculations show that relativistic effect as well as the ionic bonds may together play the key role in the cubic structures. The large highest occupied lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gaps (0.8-2.24 eV) make them attractive for optoelectronic applications and the perfect cubic structures make some of them desirable for cluster-assembled materials, such as one-dimensional nanotubes.
