摘要
We have developed a coarse-grained interaction potential between icosahedral nanocrystals and united CHx or SH atoms that interact via Lennard-Jones interactions. This interaction potential can be used to efficiently compute thermodynamic and structural properties of alkyl-thiol capping layers adsorbed on gold nanocrystals.
