Abstract

The atomic and electronic structures of Si6H2m and Si6H+2m+1 clusters have been investigated in the framework of density-functional theory. For both neutral and ionized clusters we found the structure to belong to one of four distinct structural families. A molecular-orbital picture of hydrogenation is presented. From the calculated formation energies of these clusters, we infer the relative stability of the different structural families discussed.
