Abstract: The stability of neutral, singly and multiply ionized silicon clusters, (N = 2-7, M = 0, , , ), has been investigated using an ab initio density functional method. We show that the fragmentation effect significantly affects the structure of mass-spectra of multiply ionized silicon clusters. For clusters, the clusters with a large fragmentation energy are found to correspond to the high peaks at N = 4 and 6 in mass-spectra. For clusters, a peak at N = 5 in mass-spectra has been predicted to be especially high.
