Abstract

The structures of hydrogenated Si nanocrystals and nanoclusters were studied using the empirical tight-binding method. It was shown that contrary to their electronic properties, the structural properties of hydrogen saturated Si nanocrystals had little size effect. The surface relaxation was quite small in the fully hydrogenated nanocrystals and was found to be dependent on the local environment.
