Abstract

Using the noncentral embedded atom model potential recently proposed by Besson and Morillo for Fe_1-yAl_y bulk alloys (y ≤ 0.5), we performed computer simulations to predict the ground-state configurations of Fe_n and Fe_n-xAl_x clusters (n ≤ 19). The computed structures of Fe_n clusters are in general agreement with such theoretical results as have been obtained by density functional calculations (i.e. for n ≤ 7). The results for Fe-rich Fe_n-xAl_x clusters show surface segregation of Al, which is in keeping with the findings of a previous study of Ni_n-xAl_x clusters.
