The minimum energy structures of CmTin microclusters and nanoparticles have been investigated theoretically by performing molecular–dynamics (MD) simulations. Selected crystalline and completely random initial geometries are considered. The potential energy function (PEF) used in the calculations includes two– and three–body atomic interactions for C-Ti binary systems. Molecular–dynamics simulations have been performed at 1 K and 300 K. It has been found that initial geometry has a very strong influence on relaxed geometry

Using an empirical potential energy function parametrized for each of the Ni , Cu , Pd , Pt , and Pb systems, minimum-energy structures of Ni n, Cu n, Pd n, Pt n, and Pb n (n=3–13) microclusters have been determined by performing molecular-dynamics simulations. The structural and energetic features of the obtained microclusters have been investigated.

We have simulated the gold deposition on arsenic and gallium terminated GaAs(001) surfaces at low and room temperatures. It has been found that gallium terminated surface is relatively less stable in comparison to the arsenic terminated surface. On the other hand, a single gold adatom on the surface has different characteristics than full coverage gold atoms on the surface; a single gold atom diffuses into the surface at room temperature. Simulations have been performed by considering classical molecular-dynamics technique using an empirical many-body potential energy function comprising two- and three-body atomic interactions.
