Abstract:We present a comprehensive investigation of the dielectric behavior and geometric structures of cold neutral Si N clusters of intermediate size with N = 12−30 atoms. For this, cryogenic electric beam deflection experiments were carried out for the first time for Si clusters at nozzle temperatures below 30 K. In combination with quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory and classical trajectory simulations of the rotational dynamics in the electric field, the geometric structures of the c… Show more
