Figure 6
The partial electronic density of state (DOS) for three typical Nb-centered icosahedral-like VCs, which are indexed as <0,2,8,2>, <0,3,6,3>, and <0,4,4,4>.
Only some representative atoms are plotted. The number behind each atom denotes the serial number in these clusters. The Fermi energy level (EF) possesses a position of 0 eV.
