利用密度泛函理论(DFT)对GamAsn(m=1,2;n=1-5)团簇的几何结构及稳定性进行了研究.在B3LYP/6-31G^*水平上进行了结构优化和频率分析,得到了GamAsn(m=1,2;n=1-5)团簇的基态和亚稳态结构.结果表明,在GamAsn(m=1,2;n=1-5)团簇中,团簇的稳定性随着总原子数的增多而增大;总原子数相同的团簇,As原子多的团簇比Ga原子多的团簇稳定;最高占据轨道(HOMO)和最低空轨道(LUMO)的能级差(Egap)随As原子数的增加而变化,且大体呈现奇偶交替变化规律;原子间的振动频率均在太赫兹频段,为GaAs团簇纳米材料的太赫兹电磁波检测和太赫兹电磁波辐射提供了依据.
Geometric structures and stability of GamAsn (m = 1,2;n = 1- 5) dusters have been studied using the density functional theory (DFT). Structural optimization and frequency analysis were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G^* level. All ground state structures and meta-stable state structures of GamAsn ( m = 1,2; n = 1 5) clusters have been obtained. Our calculations reveal the stability of GamAsn ( m = 1,2 ; n = 1 - 5) clusters tends to increase with the increase of the number of total atoms. As-rich clusters are more stable than Ga-rich clusters generally among clusters with the same total atoms. The energy gap Egap between the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) ,which depend on composition of the clusters and show an even/odd alteration with the number of As atoms in the cluster. All vibrating frequencies Gam Asn (m = 1,2;n = 1 - 5) clusters are frequencies of the terahertz wave band, this result will provide the further ideas for detection and radiation of terahertz wave for this material.
