Structure of nanoscale silicon clusters
Open accessAbstract
Using the Car-Parrinello method, we have obtained unforeseen structures for the low-lying isomers of ${\mathrm{Si}}_{45}$ and other midsized Si clusters. They are formed by two shells of atoms, the outer one (cage) being fullerenelike and inner one (core) consisting of a few atoms saturating dangling bonds. These novel structures provide for the first time a consistent interpretation of the available experimental data, including the reactivity trends and the structural transition at a size of \ensuremath{\sim}25 atoms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
