Abstract
First principal study of electronic and dielectric properties of a silicane nanostructure containing cluster of vacancies as quantum dot (QD) has been investigated within density functional theory (DFT). Electronic band structure and corresponding density of states show the decrease in band gap with increasing size of quantum dot. A band gap of 0.38 eV has been achieved for silicane containing 3QD. Electron energy loss spectra (EEL) function shows additional plasmonic features for QD containing silicane in visible region, which may have potential applications in optoelectronic devices.
