The best chemical ordering structures of 79-atom trimetallic Pd𝑛Ag(60−𝑛)Pt19 nanoalloys with truncated octahedron (TO) geometry were optimized and local relaxations were performed by using Monte Carlo Basin-Hopping algorithm within Gupta potential. The mixing energy variations were calculated to compare the relative stability. The lowest excess energy value was obtained at the compositions of Pd25Ag35Pt19 at Gupta level. In addition, a detailed investigation of local atomic pressure has been carried out. The factors affecting local atomic pressures were discussed.
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.
