Session O8 - Molecular Clusters: From Dimers to the Condensed Phase III.
MIXED session, Thursday afternoon, March 20
Room 4202B, Conv. Center
The equilibrium structures and dynamical properties of neutral and ionized SiH_5 and Si_2H_3 have been studied by using ab-initio molecular-dynamics method. The obtained equilibrium structures are in very good agreement with other highly precise methods. In SiH_5^+, we have clearly observed that H_2 rotates about the C_3 axis. In Si_2H_3^+, we have found that H atoms can interchange the positions frequently and also the structure changes. The different dynamical behavior for Si-H and C-H molecules has been addressed.
