Abstract

We report the formation of a series of metal-containing hydrogenated silicon clusters using an ion trap. Mass analyses reveal that many types of transition metal ions ${M}^{+}$ ( $M\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\mathrm{Hf}$, Ta, W, Re, Ir, etc.) react with silane $({\mathrm{SiH}}_{4})$ to form dehydrogenated $M{\mathrm{Si}}_{n}^{\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}+}$ cluster ions ( $n\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}14$, 13, 12, 11, 9, respectively) as an end product, indicating that the metal atom is endohedral and stabilizes the Si polyhedral cage. This finding is confirmed by our ab initio calculation that ${\mathrm{WSi}}_{12}$ is a W-encapsulating ${\mathrm{Si}}_{12}$ cage cluster, and is very stable owing to both the electronic and the geometrical shell closures.

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.
