Abstract

In this study, interactions of arsine (AsH3) and phosphine (PH3) gas molecules with B16C16 nanocluster were investigated using M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) density functional theory (DFT) method. Results showed that the electron density of adsorbed molecules could play an important role in adsorption of AsH3 and PH3 at the surface of B16C16 (on the top of B and C atoms of the cluster). Calculated amounts of adsorption energy were -3.50 and -2.90 eV for AsH3 and PH3, respectively. It revealed that the B16C16 nanocluster could work selectively for adsorbing each of AsH3 and PH3 gas molecules. The obtained achievement was approved regarding the calculated properties of molecular orbital energies, band gap, and charge transfer for the optimized systems.
