RESEARCH OF MONOMETALLIC AND BINARY FCC-CLUSTERS WITH THE SYMMETRY AXIS OF THE FIFTH ORDER

Abstract

The formation of atomistic structures of Cu, Au, Ag Cu-Au clusters was studied in the computer molecular dynamics experiment. The simulation of the crystallization process of clusters with the number of atoms from 300 to 1092 is executed. The structure of cluster searched by the method of common neighbors analysis. The decahedron-shaped structure of bimetallic Cu-Au cluster with seven completed icosahedral cores was obtained. The principles of the construction of bimetallic clusters with several icosahedral cores were offered.
