SIMULATING THE FORMATION OF PT NANOSTRUCTURES UTILIZING MOLECULAR DYNAMIC CALCULATIONS
Platinum (Pt) is an important catalyst for applications such as catalytic converters. In this thesis the formation of platinum nanoparticles was investigated by means of simulations. For the first part of the thesis a molecular dynamics simulation using the Sutton-Chen potential was implemented. Thi...
