Overview

Randomized trial tests reliability of empirical potentials for global optimization in bimetallic clusters, indicating their varying effectiveness based on size.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the reliability of empirical potentials when applied to optimize Pt-Cu bimetallic clusters of varying sizes.
  • Evaluated empirical potentials across different cluster sizes and compositions.
  • Conducted density functional theory refinements to compare optimization outcomes.
  • Analyzed parameterization impacts on the transferability of empirical potentials.
  • Findings reveal that the transferability of empirical potentials decreases as cluster size increases.
  • Certain empirical potentials showed superior performance for optimizing smaller clusters compared to larger ones.
  • Parameterization significantly influenced the reliability of optimization outcomes across varying cluster compositions.
