Density functional calculation of the photoelectron emission spectra of BiSCl crystal and molecular clusters

Abstract

The photoelectron emission spectra of BiSCl crystal and molecular clusters have been calculated by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method. Molecular clusters consists from 2 to 20 molecules in one double chain along z(c) axis. Total and partial density of states of BiSCl crystal and clusters have been weighted with atomic photoemission emission cross-section. The molecular clusters have been investigated including all normal modes of vibration. Theoretical results of BiSCl crystal and molecular clusters have been compared with experimental X-ray photoelectron emission spectra (XPS) of BiSI crystal.
