    Influence of the environment on equilibrium properties of Au-Pd clusters

    The question of the influence of the environment on the structure and thermodynamic state of a bimetallic cluster is examined, using Metropolis Monte Carlo methods. An embedded atom model is used to estimate ...

    Nanowire formation by coalescence of small gold clusters inside carbon nanotubes

    The coalescence of Au13, Au55 and Au147 icosahedral clusters encapsulated inside single walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of different diameters are investigated using molecular dynamics simulation with semi-empiric...

    The structure of 55-atom Cu–Au bimetallic clusters: Monte Carlo study

    We have investigated segregation phenomena in Cu–Au bimetallic clusters with decahedral structures at 100 K and 300 K, based on the second-moment approximation of the tight-binding (TB-SMA) potentials by us...
