摘要: Segregation phenomena of Ag–Cu–Au trimetallic clusters with icosahedral structure are investigated by using a Monte Carlo method based on the second-moment approximation tight-binding (TB-SMA) potentials. We predict that Ag atoms segregate to surface clusters. The concentrations in layer about 11–29 at.% higher than overall concentration all cases studied. simulation results also indicate Au mainly distributed middle shell and Cu located center for 147-, 309-, 561- 923-atom at 300 K. segregation Ag, due different energies atoms. It is found size composition have little effect cluster.
