The results show that compared with for H-terminated 7-ASi NR, the dielectric function for the F-terminated 7-ASi NR has a red shift, which is mainly attributed to the narrower band gap because of the σ–π mixing effect of F–Si bonds in F-terminated 7-ASi NR.The peaks in the energy loss spectra for both systems represent the characteristics associated with the plasma resonance,which correspond to the trailing edges in the reflection spectra. These properties show that the different terminated atoms in7-ASi NRs affect mainly the optical properties in the low energy range. Because of the rich optical properties, the 7-ASi NR could be a potential candidate for photoelectric nanodevice.展开更多
