Abstract

Small bimetallic clusters have shown in recent years their potential as catalysts and high-density magnetic data storage materials. These nanoscale alloys present a number of structures and phases different from those of their bulk counterparts. Taking advantage of this large spectrum of possibilities, it is in principle possible to design and build materials with specific novel properties dependent on the size and concentration of the nano-alloys. Some constituents are more amenable than others to be used as components of nanomaterials in this emerging paradigm. Transition-metal bimetallic clusters, for example, form an important class of the former, yet tailoring of desired properties of these clusters are sometimes difficult to achieve because of the complexity of their electronic structure.
