Facultad de Ciencias K1 Oro K1 Nano-agregados K1 DFT K1 SIESTA AB The main objective of this Final Degree Project is to obtain the minimum energy structuresof neutral gold aggregates in the size range between N = 17 and 41 atoms. In addition, thestability of the structures found and certain electronic properties are studied.To this end, a first-principles calculation based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) has beenemployed and implemented in the SIESTA code. This has allowed an exhaustive sampling ofthe potential energy surface to find the lowest energy structure for each aggregate size, thusextending and improving the theoretical results published to date. In addition, experimentalmeasurements of mass spectra have been successfully reproduced, providing a basis for theresults obtained.
