A combined method of quantum-chemical semiempirical approach MNDO and molecular dynamics with atomic potentials was used while studying the growth of large nanoclusters of nickel. Geometry and electronic structure of Ni 485 were studied as well as a series of similar surface (111) substituted (by Pd, Pt, Cu, Mn and Cr) clusters. The role was analysed of the surface electronic density of states (DOS) and their contribution into the processes such as adsorption and surface reaction at catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide. Stability of all substituted nanoclusters was analyzed and surface electron charges were estimated as negligible in agreement with experiments and exact calculations by periodic ab initio methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
