Probing Atomic Distributions in Mono- and Bimetallic Nanoparticles by Supervised Machine Learning

Properties of mono- and bimetallic metal nanoparticles (NPs) may depend strongly on their compositional, structural (or geometrical) attributes, and their atomic dynamics, all of which can be efficiently described by a partial radial distribution function (PRDF) of metal atoms. For NPs that are several nanometers in size, finite size effects may play a role in determining crystalline order, interatomic distances, and particle shape. Bimetallic...
