Abstract

The structure and stability of small clusters InnPd4 - n and AgnPd4 - n (n = 0-4) were calculated at the DFT PBE level. Bimetallic clusters InPd3, AgPd3 and Ag2Pd2 have tetrahedral structures, unlike bimetallic clusters In2Pd2, In3Pd and Ag3Pd, which are planar. In-Pd clusters are more stable than monoand bimetallic Ag-Pd clusters.
