The onion-ring structure in palladium-platinum (Pd-Pt) bimetallic clusters was confirmed using Monte Carlo simulations. This structure features alternating layers of Pd and Pt atoms, driven by Pt

Area of Science:

Computational chemistry and materials science.
Investigating nanoscale structures and properties of bimetallic clusters.

Background:

The study validates the onion-ring structure in Pd-Pt bimetallic clusters (147 and 309 atoms).
Utilizes the Monte Carlo method with second-moment approximation of tight-binding (TB-SMA) potentials.
Builds upon previous theoretical frameworks for predicting bimetallic cluster structures.

Discussion:

The onion-ring structure consists of alternating layers of palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) atoms.
This layered arrangement is energetically favorable for Pd-Pt systems.
The stability is linked to the preference of Pt atoms to occupy subsurface and central positions.

Key Insights:

Confirmation of the onion-ring structural motif in Pd-Pt bimetallic clusters.
