Mechanical Properties of Nanoclusters of Silicon: Geometrical Aspect

Abstract

The possibility of manifestation of individual and characteristic properties of nanoclusters on the basis of silicon is revealed. Their reactive capability and kinetics stability is defined. The theoretical database of different geometrical configurations of nanoclusters of silicon is created. Conclusion is drawn on the fact of their real existence both in the isolated type, and in the matrix solid-state environment. Using modelling, expediency of application of quantum and chemical approach to studying of properties of the nanocluster subsystem of substance is established. Perspectives of receiving new material types with beforehand the predicted properties are analysed.
