Theoretical study on the structural, electronic, and optical properties of BnCn (n = 1–13) clusters

We applied density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the low-energy geometries and electronic characteristics of stoichiometric B _n C _n ( n  = 1–13) clusters. We performed harmonic vibration frequency analysis to ensure that the ground-state isomers are the real local minima. B _...
