摘要
Based on gradient-corrected density-functional theory and genetic global optimization approach that directly searches for the configuration of greatest stability, we are able to find particularly stable structures for binary gallium arsenide clusters. We report a formation of fullerenelike GanAsn clusters with 6 <= n <= 9 due to the enhanced ionic characteristics of the Ga-As bonding. The IR and optical spectra of the GanAsn clusters are calculated, which are useful and important to distinguish the isomer structures and to examine the predicted trend of structural transitions by experiments.
