Description

Metal nanocluster structure optimization method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nano materials, in particular to a method for optimizing a metal nanocluster structure.
Background
The metal nanoclusters have some special structures, compositions, properties and the like, and are widely used in the fields of catalysis, optics, magnetism, biological diagnosis and the like. Particularly in catalytic applications, metal nanoclusters are considered as one of the most promising metal nanocatalysts, referred to as "fourth generation catalysts". The catalytic activity of the surface of the metal nanocluster is increased mainly due to the characteristics that the metal nanocluster is small in size and large in specific surface area, the bonding state and the electronic state of surface atoms are different from those of the interior of the metal nanocluster, coordination of the surface atoms is incomplete, and the like. In addition, the metal nanocluster catalyst has good selectivity, and can reduce the generation of byproducts, thereby reducing the pollution to the environment. Therefore, the metal nanoclusters are also a new direction and a new field in the research of nanoscience and technology.
Methods for describing the relationship between metal nanocluster structure and energy can be roughly divided into two categoriesEmpirical potential energy and density functional theory. The empirical potential energy is mainly characterized in that parameters are determined through fitting of experimental data, so that the purpose of describing the potential energy of a certain metal nano-cluster is achieved, but the calculation accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The density functional theory does not depend on any experimental facts or empirical rules, and is the most accurate mode for calculating the potential energy of the metal nanocluster at present. However, the core of the density functional theory is to solve

The equations, their complexity and computation time, grow explosively with increasing size of the computing system. Meanwhile, in both description modes in the prior art, a user is required to provide an initial configuration, if the initial configuration is relatively close to a global optimal solution, the calculation can be finished quickly, but if the initial configuration is not ideal, a large amount of time is often spent on calculation, and meanwhile, in most cases, the accuracy of a result obtained by calculation is poor, and the global optimal solution cannot be obtained.

wherein, E old Is the energy of a certain metal nanocluster in a metal nanocluster group, E new Is E old The energy corresponding to the first locally optimized metal nanocluster and the second locally optimized metal nanocluster of the corresponding metal nanocluster. Meanwhile, T in the formula is a set parameter, and the T linearly decreases along with the increase of the number of iteration steps. Details of the specific influence and numerical setting of T are as follows: the larger the value of T, the smaller the probability of accepting a bad solution at the beginning of the program run. For more complex metal nanoclusters, T may be chosen to be a smaller value.
As shown in the formula, the energy E corresponding to the first and second locally optimized metal nanoclusters of the corresponding metal nanocluster new Less than the energy E of the corresponding metal nanoclusters in the metal nanocluster group old When the replacement probability is 1, directly replacing the corresponding metal nanoclusters in the metal nanocluster group with the first locally optimized metal nanocluster and the second locally optimized metal nanocluster; if the energy E corresponding to the first and second locally optimized metal nanoclusters of the corresponding metal nanocluster new Greater than the energy E of the corresponding metal nanoclusters in the metal nanocluster group old And meanwhile, as iteration is carried out, T is linearly reduced along with the increase of iteration steps, so that the replacement probability is increased, and the corresponding metal nanoclusters in the metal nanocluster group are more likely to be replaced. This embodiment pairs metal nanocluster groups by employing alternative probabilitiesThe replacement of the metal nanoclusters reflects the idea of accepting inferior solutions according to a certain probability, ensures the diversity of the metal nanoclusters in the iteration process, and improves the accuracy of the metal nanocluster structure optimization method.
