29. The VASP code is an efficient simulated-annealing method, which allows local minima to be readily identified. The ADF code, which has higher-quality basis sets and involves advanced relativistic treatment, is used to produce the final energy profiles for comparison with the experimental results. The good performance of ADF for Au clusters has been well tested in our previous studies in conjunction with PES data (see reference [16], for example).
