26. C, the relative stability is not affected since the number of C atoms is the same in all the considered models.

29. In contrast to normal Si dimers, RDs would not undergo flip-flop motion at RT as the environment of two atoms in a RD are inequivalent. The RDs buckled in the other way were unstable and relaxed back to the configuration as shown in Fig. 4.
