Design of Three-shell Icosahedral Matryoshka Clusters A@B(12)@A(20) (A = Sn, Pb; B = Mg, Zn, Cd, Mn)

We propose a series of icosahedral matryoshka clusters of A@B(12)@A(20) (A = Sn, Pb; B = Mg, Zn, Cd), which possess large HOMO-LUMO gaps (1.29 to 1.54 eV) and low formation energies (0.06 to 0.21 eV/atom). A global minimum search using a genetic algorithm and density functional theory calculations c...
