The structures of Ni/MgO nanoparticles are studied by means of global optimization searches. The results from four different model potentials, sharing the same functional forms but different parametrizations, are reported and compared. Two parametrizations over four give qualitatively correct results, and one of them is also quantitatively satisfactory. The other models fail to explain some qualitative features observed in the experiments, such as the formation of hcp nanodots at small sizes or the transition to fcc structures at large sizes. The important features that an atomistic potential must present for the correct prediction of Ni cluster structures are discussed and generalized.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
