Magnetic Silicon Fullerene and London Nanospintronic Projects

1. Magnetic Silicon Fullerene A magnetic metal-encapsulating silicon fullerene, Eu@Si20, has been predicted by density functional theory to be by far the most stable fullerene-like silicon structure. The Eu@Si20 structure is a regular dodecahedron with Ih symmetry in which the europium atom occupies the center site. The calculated results show that the europium 10 atom …
