Abstract

Using an empirical potential energy function parametrized for each of the Ni, Cu, Pd, Pt, and Pb systems, minimum-energy structures of Ni, Cu-n, Pd-n, Pt-n, and Pb-n (n = 3-13) microclusters have been determined by performing molecular-dynamics simulations. The structural and energetic features of the obtained microclusters have been investigated.
