Abstract This paper studies the melting of icosahedral Ag–Pd bimetallic clusters by using molecular dynamics with the embedded atom method. It finds that the mixed Ag–Pd cluster shows an irregular phenomenon before melting, i.e., the atomic energy decreases with the increase of temperature. It indicates that the segregation of Ag atoms results in this phenomenon by analysing atomic radius distribution. Since the surface energy of Ag is lower than that of Pd, this leads to the result that the decreased energy by the Ag atomic segregation is larger than the increased energy by the heating. This provides a new method to obtain irregular thermodynamic properties.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
