Abstract
Ab initio methods of density functional theory and pseudopotentials were used to study the structure, electronic states, total energy of tin nanoparticles. The values of elastic modulus of nanoparticles studied significantly exceed the value of bulk tin, and also depend on the atomic configuration of the nanoparticle.
