Free gold clusters: beyond the static, monostructure description.
The thermodynamical stability of free, pristine gold clusters at finite temperature, and of cluster+ligands complexes at finite temperature and in the presence of an atmosphere composed of O2 and CO, is studied employing parallel tempering and ab initio atomistic thermodynamics. We focus on Au13, which displays a significant fluxional behavior: Even at low temperature (100 K) this cluster exhib...
متن کاملFirst - principles , atomistic thermodynamics for oxidation catalysis
Present knowledge of the function of materials is largely based on studies (experimental and theoretical) that are performed at low temperatures and ultra-low pressures. However, the majority of everyday applications, like e.g. catalysis, operate at atmospheric pressures and temperatures at or higher than 300 K. Here we employ ab initio, atomistic thermodynamics to construct a phase diagram of ...

متن کاملThermodynamic stability and structure of copper oxide surfaces: A first-principles investigation
To obtain insight into the structure and surface stoichiometry of copper-based catalysts in commercially important chemical reactions such as the oxygen-assisted water-gas shift reaction, we perform densityfunctional theory calculations to investigate the relative stability of low-index copper oxide surfaces. By employing the technique of “ab initio atomistic thermodynamics,” we identify low-en...
متن کاملAB Initio Study of Molecular Struture, Energetic and Vibrational Spectra of (GaN)4 Nanosemiconductor
In recent years there has been considerable interest in the structures, energies and thermodynamics of(GaN)4 clusters and it is the subject of many experimental and theoretical studies because of theirfundamental importance in chemical and physical process. All calculation of this study is carried outby Gaussian 98. Geometry optimization for (GaN)4 nanocluster are be fulfilled at B3LYP, B1LYPan...
