Transition from exo to endo Cu absorption in SinCu clusters: A genetic algorithms Density Functional Theory (DFT) study

The characterization and prediction of the structures of metal silicon clusters is important for nanotechnology research because these clusters can be used as building blocks for nano devices, integrated circuits and solar cells. Several authors [1-3] have postulated that there is a transition betwe...
