| The structural, cohesive and electronic properties of fullerene-like isolated Zn44Cd4O48 cluster with consideration of CdO phase clusterization are studied in the frames of density functional theory B3LYP/3-21G(d). It is revealed that an enlargement of CdO phase content in Zn44Cd4O48 cluster leads to nonlinear rapid increase in cohesive energy and cluster stability, as well as band-gap energy shrinkage. |
