The structure and energetics of Pd N (N = 5–80) clusters have been studied extensively by a Monte Carlo method based on Sutton–Chen many-body potential. The basin-hopping algorithm is used to find the low-energy minima on the potential energy surface for each nuclearity. A variety of structure types (icosahedral, decahedral and fcc closed-packed) are observed for Pd clusters. Some of the icosahedral global minima do not have a central atom. The resulting structures have been compared with the previous theoretical results.

Using Monte Carlo Basin-hopping algorithm within the Gupta potential, a systematic investigation has been performed for the best chemical ordering structures of 19-atom trimetallic [Formula: see text] nanoclusters with double icosahedral geometry. The structures with the lowest energy at Gupta level are then re-optimized by DFT relaxations and the DFT relaxations confirmed the lowest energy structures obtained at the Gupta level indicating the double icosahedron structure is favorable for 19-atom [Formula: see text] nanoclusters. It was observed that the caloric curves exhibit a smoother transition with structural isomerizations other than a sharp jump behavior.

The structure and energetic of Palladium-Cobalt clusters (N = 11–20) have been studied extensively by a Monte Carlo method based on Sutton–Chen many-body potential. The basin-hopping algorithm was used to determine the global minima of bimetallic clusters. The structural changes with cluster size were observed. Most of the structures had built on icosahedral packing. Second energy difference analyzes were performed to investigate the relative stability of a cluster with respect to its size and composition is discussed.
