Abstract

Functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles with appropriate organic molecules is very important for many applications. In the present study, cobalt nanoparticles, with an average diameter of 2 nm corresponding to Co~309~ clusters were synthesised by an electrochemical method, and then coated with ADCB (4‐(9‐deceniloxi)benzoic acid), in order to protect the clusters against oxidation and to obtain a final nanostructure, which can be attached later on to many different materials, like drugs, proteins or some other biological molecules.

The classical potential energy surfaces for clusters of up to 25 atoms, interacting under two-body Lennard-.?ones forces, have been searched for global minima using the simulated annealing method. This is a Monte Carlo technique which simulates a process of slow cooling in order to avoid trapping in
