Electronic Properties of Solid Composed of Al12Ge Clusters
-
Abstract
The ab initio pseudopotential local-density studies on the electronic structure and geometry of a theoretical solid are presented with Al12Ge cluster serving as the building block of the material. The results show that bulk material formed from cubic close-packing of All2Ge clusters will eventually be an aluminum-like metal when lattice parameter of the solid and atomic geometry of the clusters are optimized by the crystal field.
