The gas-phase growth of AuAg and PtPd clusters up to sizes ~3 nm is simulated by Molecular Dynamics. Both systems are characterized by a very small size mismatch and by a tendency of the less cohesive element to segregate at the nanoparticle surface. The aim of this work is to figure out the differe...
