Methods of the theory of electron-density functional and pseudopotentials are used for studying the effect of oxygen on the geometry and electronic structure of small silicon clusters Si{sub n}, (n = 5, 6, 10, 18). It is shown that the energy gap varies and, as a rule, decreases for such systems depending on the position and number of oxygen atoms.
