Theoretical Studies of Palladium−Gold Nanoclusters: Pd−Au Clusters with up to 50 Atoms

Global optimization of Pd−Au bimetallic clusters in the size range N = 2−50 has been performed using a genetic algorithm, coupled with the Gupta many-body empirical potential (EP) to model interatomic interactions. Three sets of EP parameters have been examined in this work: (a) an average of pure P... View More
