Abstract
The Foiles’ version of the Embedded Atom Method (EAM) is used to study the structural stability of Ni, Cu, Ag, and Pd metal clusters. Various structures and sizes are studied. They are based in polyhedra as: tetrahedron, hexahedron, triangular antiprísm, trigonal prism, decahedron, and dodecadeltahedron. To construct the various clusters for each one of the polyhedron, top sites over the faces of the polyhedron are used. The faces in the polyhedra can be triangular or squares faces. Face-centeredcubic clusters are also studied. Comparison between the cohesive energy of the various clusters with the same number of atoms but different structures is carried out to find the most stable cluster shape.
