摘要
The stable structures of Ag-Au and Cu-Au clusters with 1 : 1, 1 : 3 and 3 : 1 compositions with up to 108 atoms are obtained using a modified adaptive immune optimization algorithm with Gupta potential. The dominant motifs of Ag-Au and Cu-Au clusters are decahedron and icosahedron, respectively. However, in Ag-rich Ag-Au clusters, more icosahedra are found, and in Cu-rich Cu-Au clusters, there exist several decahedral motifs. Four Leary tetrahedral motifs are predicted. CucoreAushell configurations are predicted in Cu-Au clusters. In Ag-Au clusters, most Ag atoms are on the surface, but partial ones are located in the inner shell, while Au atoms are interconnected in the middle shell.
