ABSTRACTA reactive molecular dynamics simulation study on the structure, energetics, and chemistry of alkanethiolated gold cluster is presented. Through very recent reactive molecular dynamics force-fields developed by Järvi et al. [1], chemical reactions of alkanedithiolates and star-like shape gold nanoparticles are studied throughout octanedithiolates and stellated cuboctahedral gold clusters models [2] at room temperature. Structure, energetics, reactants, and some products of the reactions are preliminarily analyzed up to 25 ps. In general, preliminary results of this work are in agreement with those reported in the review by Love et al. [3].

AbstractClassical Molecular dynamics simulation of silicon cluster growth (up to 1000 atoms) have been conducted using the Stillinger-Weber 3-body interaction potential. The cluster binding energy has been fit to an expression that separates the surface and bulk contribution to the energy over a wide temperature and size range. Cluster growth simulations show that large heat release results from new bond formation at gas kinetic rates (i.e. sticking coefficient = unity). Temperature was found to be the primary controlling process parameter in the evolution of cluster morphology from an aggregate to a coalesced cluster below 1000 K, with the impact parameter playing a secondary role.
