Electronic and geometric stability of double titanium-doped silicon clusters

We performed the genetic algorithm (GA) incorporated with density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the atomic and electronic properties of a series of Ti _2 Si _n (n = 3 = –24) clusters. Comprehensive consideration on the formation energy, the second difference in cluster energy a...
