Electronic, Structural and Vibrational Properties of GaP Diamondoids and Nanocrystals: A Density Functional Theory Study

The electronic, structural and vibrational properties of gallium phosphide diamondoids and nanocrystals were investigated using density functional theory at PBE/6-31(d) level, which included polarization functions. The energy gap obeyed the quantum confinement size effect with shape fluctuations. Th...
