The surface diffusion of Pt dimers on Wulff polyhedral clusters with 586-12934 atoms was studied by the embedded atom method. The minimum energy diffusion path and the corresponding energy barrier for dimer diffusion on cluster surfaces were determined through a combination of the quenched Molecular Dynamics and the Nudged Elastic Band method. It was found that the diffusion of a dimer across the step-edge by dissociation and consecutive single-atom exchange with the edge atoms, rather than diffusion over the edge as a unit. Therefore, the step can enhance the dissociation of the dimer. For small Wulff polyhedral clusters containing up to 2000 atoms, the energy barrier for dimer diffusion from the {111} to the {100} facet is almost equal to that for the single adatom diffusion on the flat {111} surface. From the calculated cluster size dependence of the energy barrier, we conclude that the Wulff polyhedral cluster is stable, as the cluster has more than about 2000 atoms.
选用Cu–Ag纳米粒子作为研究对象,采用分子动力学方法和嵌入原子模型模拟了将Cu原子注入到由Ag原子构成的纳米粒子的过程,研究了注入能量(10,30,50 e V)与纳米粒子结构的关系。采用共近邻分析技术对合金纳米的结构演变进行了研究。模拟结果表明:当入射原子动能为50 e V时,合金纳米粒子从截角八面体转变为二十面体结构。这种转变是因为入射原子与基底原子碰撞,促使系统温度升高。
