Structural transformations in Cu, Ag, and Au metal nanoclusters
Manoj Settem, Cesare Roncaglia, Riccardo Ferrando +1
Finite-temperature structures of Cu, Ag, and Au metal nanoclusters are calculated in the entire temperature range from 0 K to melting using a computational methodology that we prop…
Charting nanocluster structures via convolutional neural networks
Emanuele Telari, Antonio Tinti, Manoj Settem +3
A general method to obtain a representation of the structural landscape of nanoparticles in terms of a limited number of variables is proposed. The method is applied to a large dat…
Tempering of Au nanoclusters: capturing the temperature-dependent competition among structural motifs
Manoj Settem, Riccardo Ferrando, Alberto Giacomello
A computational approach to determine the equilibrium structures of nanoclusters in the whole temperature range from 0 K to melting is developed. Our approach relies on Parallel Te…
Anionic nanoparticle-lipid membrane interactions: the protonation of anionic ligands at the membrane surface reduces membrane disruption
Sebastian Salassi, Ester Canepa, Riccardo Ferrando +1
Monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are promising biomedical tools with applications to diagnosis and therapy, thanks to their biocompatibility and versatility. Here we…
Local Enhancement of lipid membrane permeability induced by irradiated gold nanoparticles
Andrea Torchi, Federica Simonelli, Riccardo Ferrando +1
Photothermal therapies are based on the optical excitation of plasmonic nanoparticles in the biological environment. The effects of the irradiation on the biological medium depend…
Au Nanoparticles in Lipid Bilayers: a Comparison between Atomistic and Coarse Grained Models
Sebastian Salassi, Federica Simonelli, Davide Bochicchio +2
The computational study of the interaction between charged, ligand-protected metal nanoparticles and model lipid membranes has been recently addressed both at atomistic and coarse…
Interpretation of surface diffusion data with Langevin simulations - a quantitative assessment
Moshe Diamant, Saar Rahav, Riccardo Ferrando +1
Diffusion studies of adsorbates moving on a surface are often analyzed using 2D Langevin simulations. These simulations are computationally cheap and offer valuable insight into th…
Morphological instability of core-shell metallic nanoparticles
Davide Bochicchio, Riccardo Ferrando
Bimetallic nanoparticles (often known as nanoalloys) with core-shell arrangement are of special interest in several applications, such as in optics, catalysis, magnetism and biomed…
Impact-driven effects in thin-film growth: steering and transient mobility at the Ag(110) surface
Michele Ceriotti, Riccardo Ferrando, Francesco Montalenti
Low-energy atomic impacts on the Ag(110) surface are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations based on reliable many-body semiempirical potentials. Trajectory deflections (st…
