Density functional studies of the luminescence of Si29H36
Literature Information
The molecular structures of the ground and the lowest excited state of a Si29H36 cluster have been optimized at the density-functional-theory (DFT) level using the time-dependent perturbation-theory (TDDFT) approach for the excited state. The electronic absorption and emission energies for the fully optimized molecular structures have been calculated at the TDDFT level. The excitation energy calculated for the equilibrium structure of the excited state using the Becke–Perdew (BP) functional was found to be 0.72 eV smaller than the vertical excitation energy for the ground-state structure. The calculated wavelength of the emitted light is 396 nm which agrees well with experiment as the silicon cluster emits blue light. Small structural changes caused by the relaxation of the excited state introduce strains in the ground-state structure. The strain and the relaxation are found to contribute equally to the large red shift of the emitted light. Thus, the present calculations do not support the notion that the potential-energy surface of the excited state has a double-well structure.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
