A systematic study of the structural, electronic, and optical properties of cage-like boron clusters, with the number of constituent atoms ranging from 20 to 122, has been carried out within the framework of density-functional theory (DFT),…

The structural and electronic properties of the doubly calcium-doped boron cluster B$_{18}$Ca$_2$ have been systematically investigated using density functional theory calculations. Basin-hopping searches reveal that B$_{18}$Ca$_2$ adopts a…

Using density functional theory (DFT) and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations we show that the B12Hn and B12Fn (n = 0-4) quasi-planar structures are energetically more favorable than the corresponding icosahedral clusters. Moreover, we…

In this work, we present large-scale electron-correlated computations on various conformers of B$_{12}$H$_{12}$ and B$_{12}$H$_{6}$ clusters, to understand the reasons behind the high stability of di-anion icosahedron ($I_{h}$) and…

We investigate the structure of 13-particle clusters in binary alloys for various size ratios and different concentrations via MD simulation. Our goal is to predict which systems are likely to form local icosahedral structures when rapidly…

Using density functional theory calculations, we study doping of a Cr, Mo, and W atom in boron clusters in the size range of 18-24 atoms and report the finding of metal atom encapsulated fullerene-like cage structures with 20 to 24 boron…

In this paper we propose a tight-binding molecular dynamics with parameters fitted to first-principles calculations on the smaller clusters and with an environment correction, to be a powerful technique for studying large transition/noble…

The recent discovery of pure boron nanotubes raises questions about their detailed atomic structure. Previous simulations predicted tubular structures with smooth or puckered surfaces. Here, we present some novel results based on ab initio…

Boron is the fifth element in the periodic table and possesses rich chemistry second only to carbon. A striking feature of boron is that B12 icosahedral cages occur as the building blocks in bulk boron and many boron compounds. This is in…

Using first-principles density functional theory based calculations, we analyze the structural stability of small clusters of 3$d$ late transition metals. We consider the relative stability of the two structures - layer-like structure with…

In this work, we explore the structure of single-wall boron nanotubes with large diameters (about 21~{\AA}) and a broad range of surface densities of atoms. The computations are done using an evolutionary approach combined with a nearest…

The complex crystal chemistry of elemental boron has led to numerous proposed structures with distinctive motifs as well as contradictory findings. Herein, evolutionary structure searches performed at 100 GPa have uncovered a series of…
