Abstract: | The structures and stabilities of B n O and B n O2 clusters with n ≤ 6 are studied systematically by using density-functional theory. The lowest-energy structures of B n O clusters favor two-dimensional, and can be obtained from B n or B n−1O. For B n O2, unexpectedly, all of the most stable B n O2 clusters but B6O2 are linear. Furthermore, in B n O2 clusters, the longer the distance between two O atoms, the more stable the structure. To investigate the relative stability of considered clusters, binding energies per atom, reaction energies, and fragmentation energies are also calculated and discussed. |
