Create Nanoclusters of Au and Pt with VESTA

In this short tutorial, learn how to create nanoclusters of gold (Au) and Platinum (Pt) elements using VESTA software. First, download the CIF file of Au and Pt from the COD website and then drag it to the VESTA software. Then, follow the tutorial and learn to create nanoclusters and visualize them.

Hello Sir, nice video. Could you please make a video on generating icosahedra nanoparticles (which contains 20 (111) planes i.e only {111}) using VESTA

Excuse me, do you know how I can make a 15nm spherical gold nanoparticle?
Could you explain it to me or do you know where I can find it out?

You can look for chemical approaches like sole-gel and hydrothermal for synthesizing gold nanoparticles. Some companies also sell nanoparticles; you may find information about them online.
Take a look at this paper and there are many more

@@PhDzzz66 Thank you very much, although I am referring to the development of a model, like the one you show, it is possible in this application ? and if it is, do you know where I can find how to do it? The thing is that following your videos, which should be clarified, they are excellent and you have a new sub, there are things that do not want to work for me, for example when choosing the atoms to eliminate, it does not choose the ones I select, or when transferring the file to PDB, it does not save the modifications..
I wanted to ask you, do you know where I can see how to make the model of this 15 nm nano and if you know how I can solve the problems that I mentioned to you.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and respond to me, in addition to thanking you for your content, I had been suffering with this problem for months.
Greetings from Colombia

Got it, but sorry that I can't help you. I am an experimentalist and dont have any knowledge of theoretical modeling of nanostructure. You can post your question on researchgate and also write email to researchers who are working in this area. Good luck!

@@PhDzzz66 Thank you, I will follow your advice.
Finally, do you think this application can simulate the 15nm nanoparticle? Do you know where I can see more about the vesta application to simulate this structure

Again, I am sorry, but I am not sure about that.
