What are the stable nano-cluster shapes of sodium? And how about Ag-Na and Au-Na alloy clusters?

13 November 2013 0 4K Report

Nanoclusters can be of different shapes. Which shapes have been verified as the stable shape of Sodium nano-clusters in between 10-100 atoms?

About the Ag-Na or, Au-Na alloys, which shapes are verified as stable till now? Can I just make any shape (like core-shell cluster or, polycosahedra) of Ag/Au and add some Na atoms with that or, I need to find exact structures and atom numbers to make the alloy stable?
