Structure and Stability of Gold Nanostructures

D Kumar, V Verma, K Dharamvir,

Abstract

Using Gupta potential gold nanostructures have been studied. Gold nanowire icosa structure is found to be most stable structure. The value of cohesive energy, Young’s modulus and shear modulus has been computed and all the values (except poisson ratio) are more than that of bulk gold. Another striking observation
