Abstract:
A fast redistribution of metal atoms occurs upon mixing the AgxAu38-x and Au38 nanoclusters in solution, as observed by mass spectrometry. Physical separation of AgxAu38-x and Au38 species by a dialysis membrane prohibits the metal migration, which suggests that collisions between the reacting clusters are at the origin of the observation.
