A Comparison of Structure, Stability of Neutral and Cationic Vanadium-doped Germanium Clusters GenV0/+ (n = 2 - 8) by using Density Function Theorym clusters GenV0/+ (n = 2 - 8) by using density function theory
Abstract:The geometries, stabilities and electronic properties of vanadium-doped germanium clusters GenV0/+ (n=2-8) were systematically investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) at the PBE level and the 6-311+G(d) basis set. The results show that the geometries of lowest-energy structures of the cationic clusters are only significant different from those of the neutral at n = 6 or 7. The ground state of neutral clusters is a doublet, except Ge2V which is a quartet while that of cationic clusters is a tripl… Show more
