摘要

The growth of Pd, Pt, and Ag clusters on the MgO(001) substrate is simulated with the aim to determine particle shape and structural characteristics in relation with data issued from atom-by-atom growth experiments in UHV conditions. Metal-metal interactions are modeled by a second-moment approximation tight-binding potential, while metal-oxide interactions are modeled by an analytic function fitted to first-principles calculations. The cluster growth is simulated with molecular dynamics and followed up to a cluster size of 400 atoms. We show that while at typical experimental temperatures the smallest clusters are melted, the attachment of subsequent adatoms leads to cluster crystallization. Upon crystallization the particles adopt the low-energy structure corresponding to the crystallization size. This latter determines to a large extent the final form of large clusters issued from atom-by-atom growth. Within such a scenario, experimentally observed larger Pd and Pt particles in (001) epitaxy with the substrate may result from kinetic blocking, while the equilibrium shape of large clusters, with metal (111) facet in contact with the oxide substrate, may be unreachable at typical experimental temperatures.
