Abstract
The structure of the supported 13-atom metallic cluster was simulated by computer. Various substrate configurations and interaction forces were considered. While in free space the icosahedral-like structure is more stable, the interaction with the support shifts the equilibrium structure towards a crystalline one. The crystalline nucleus exhibits the orientation (100)/(100), (111)/(111) and (111)/(110).
