The geometric,electronic,and photoabsorption properties of some hydrogenated silicon clusters are investigated.The density functional theory with generalized gradient appro-ximation functional is applied.Our study shows that the geometric structures of them relax with their increasing sizes.Synchronously,the polarizations of Si-H bonds become weak slowly but overlap populations increase.In Mulliken population analysis,we find a distinctive passivation effect(some electrons are transferred from outer Si atoms to the central Si with four-coordinate Si atoms).Owing to the quantum confinement,the energy gap and the lowest excitation energy in-crease with the decreasing sizes.For nanometer scale cluster,the transition from the highest occupied molecular orbital to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital state is usually prohibited.
