Abstract: | The optical gaps of free and embedded Si nanoclusters are studied within the time-dependent local-density approximation. The effects of deformation, the bonding of individual O atoms on the surface, and coverage by SiO 2 layers on the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and optical gaps are systematically compared. It is found that all three can have a significant impact. Oxygen bonded to the surface and deformation cause the greatest reduction in the gaps, particularly in combination. |
