Thermodynamic Properties of Supported and Embedded Metallic Nanocrystals: Gold on/in SiO<sub>2</sub>

Thermodynamic Properties of Supported and Embedded Metallic Nanocrystals: Gold on/in SiO<sub>2</sub>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We report on the calculations of the cohesive energy, melting temperature and vacancy formation energy for Au nanocrystals with different size supported on and embedded in SiO<sub>2</sub>. The calculations are performed crossing our previous data on t...
