Towards the geometric structure of small supported Au9 clusters on Si

Abstract Ultra-small clusters containing few atoms are of high interest in both fundamental research and applications due to their specific functional, magnetic or chemical properties which depend on size and composition. The experimental results of the morphology of the size-selected clusters, cons...
