Clusters or nanoparticles are aggregates of between a few and many millions of atoms or
molecules. They may consist of identical atoms, or molecules, or two or more different …

A comprehensive and integrated review of the hypergravity field applied to solidifying alloys
is provided. The hypergravity field refers to an environment in which the acceleration of …

A review is presented of the design and application of genetic algorithms for the geometry
optimisation of clusters and nanoparticles, where the interactions between atoms, ions or …

A study has been made of the structures and stabilities of copper and gold clusters and
copper–gold nanoalloy clusters, with up to 56 atoms, modeled by the many-body Gupta …

Gold–copper (Au–Cu) phases were employed already by pre-Columbian civilizations,
essentially in decorative arts, whereas nowadays, they emerge in nanotechnology as an …

Interaction between biologically active compounds and metal clusters are of immense
theoretical and experimental interest due to its wide range of applications including drug …

Bimetallic nanoclusters are of interest because of their utility in catalysis and sensors. The
thermal characteristics of bimetallic Pt-Pd nanoclusters of different sizes and compositions …

Structural forms of model NinAlm, n+ m= 13, alloy clusters are studied for all stoichiometric
compositions using a many-body potential. These forms are distinguished by their …

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to analyze the structure and dynamics of isolated
bimetallic nanoclusters of 343 (Cu–Ni) and 1000 atoms (Cu–Ni and Pt–Au) deposited on a …

A modified polyol process has been used to synthesize intermetallic nanocrystals and
nanowire networks directly in solution using a one-pot reaction. The synthesis of AuCu …
