摘要
We study solids of Si20 fullerenes, Si46 and Na2Ba6Si46, in the framework of density-functional theory. The electronic structure of Si46 is remarkably different from that of the diamond Si lattice due to its pentagonal network. The valence-band top becomes deeper, resulting in a narrow valence-band width and a wide fundamental gap. Also, another gap appears within the valence bands. In the Na- and Ba-codoped phase, Ba states show strong hybridization with Si46 states giving a very high Fermi-level density of states, which should be of essential importance for the superconductivity observed in NaxBaySi46. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
