Energy landscape exploration of sub-nanometre copper-silver clusters.
The energy landscapes of sub-nanometre bimetallic coinage metal clusters are explored with the Threshold Algorithm coupled with the Birmingham Cluster Genetic Algorithm. Global and energetically low-lying minima along with their permutational isomers are located for the Cu(4)Ag(4) cluster with the Gupta potential and density functional theory (DFT). Statistical tools are employed to map the con...
متن کاملGlobal Optimisation of Molecular Clusters
All results presented here use the scaled Lennard-Jones potential such that the pair well depth and equilibrium distance are both unity V LJ (r) = 1 r 12 − 2 r 6. (1) Thus all energies are given in units of the pair well depth, , and lengths are given in terms of the equilibrium distance σ. This means that for a dimer the potential and the separation are both one. Clusters of this type exhibit ...
متن کاملDFT study of the structures and energetics of 98-atom AuPd clusters.
The energetics, structures and segregation of 98-atom AuPd nanoclusters are investigated using a genetic algorithm global optimization technique with the Gupta empirical potential (comparing three different potential parameterisations) followed by local minimizations using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. A shell optimization program algorithm is employed in order to study the ener...
متن کاملDFT study of dimers of dimethyl sulfoxide in gas phase
Density functional (DFT) calculations at M05-2x/aug-cc-pVDZ level were used to analyze the interactions between dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) dimers. The structures obtained have been analyzed with the Atoms in Molecules (AIMs) and Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) methodologies. Four minima were located on the potential energy surface of the dimers. Three types of interactions are observed, CH•••O, CH•••...
متن کاملDFT Study of H2 Combustion on αAl2O3 Supported Pt Clusters
Based on Density Functional Theory – Generalized Gradient Approximation calculations (DFT-GGA), we provide a theoretical model for the H2 combustion on Al2O3 supported catalytically active Pt nanoclusters. In a previous paper (Synowczynski, 2008), we identified several adsorption and dissociation processes that occur on the Al2O3 support and demonstrated that products from these reactions can m...
