Structural and electronic properties of Al12X+ (X=C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) clusters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using the first-principles method with the generalized gradient approximation, the authors have studied the structural and electronic properties of Al(12)X(+) (X=C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) clusters in detail. The ground state of Al(12)C(+) is a low symmetry C(s) structure instead of an icosahedron. However, the Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb atom doped cationic clusters favor icosahedral structures. The ground states for Al(12)Si(+) and Al(12)Ge(+) are icosahedra, while the C(5nu) structures optimized from an icosahedron with a vertex capped by a tetravalent atom have the highest binding energy for Al(12)Sn(+) and Al(12)Pb(+) clusters. The I(h) structure and the C(5nu) structure are almost degenerate for Al(12)Ge(+), whose binding energy difference is only 0.03 eV. The electronic properties are altered much by removing an electron from the neutral cluster. The binding strength of a valence electron is enhanced, while the binding energy of the cluster is reduced much. Due to the open electronic shell, the band gaps between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital are approximately 0.3 eV for the studied cationic clusters.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
