Structure before and after ionization

Caption

Yellow isosurfaces on left panel indicate electrons localized in-between the C3 trimers. Ionized structure on the right has no trapped electrons, and some of the M atoms have been largely displaced. This displacement of the M atoms again significantly stabilizes the ionized structure.
