Structural and electronic properties of Aun−xPtx (n = 2–14; x ⩽ n) clusters: The density functional theory investigation

The structural evolutions and electronic properties of bimetallic Aun–xPtx (n = 2–14; x ⩽ n) clusters are investigated by using the density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The monatomic doping Aun–1Pt clusters are emphasized and compared with the correspond...
