Abstract

A series of numerical experiments on segmentation of flat forms Ti5C4 and Ti4C5 in nanoclusters Ti14C13 and Ti13C14 were performed. Result of self-assembly depends on the relative distance and orientation of free planes. Long-range interactions between the metal atoms and subsequent formation bonds Ti—C lead into a final configuration. Calculations were carried out in the framework of density functional theory using software complex "Gaussian’03".
