摘要
Low-lying icosahedral (I-h) B-12-containing structures of B-80 are explored, and a number of core-shell isomers are found to have lower energy than the previous predicted B-80 fullerene. The structural transformation of boron clusters from tubular structure to core-shell structure may occur at a critical size less than B-80.
