The catalytic properties of Au/CeO2 systems are sensitive to the nature of Au clusters, however, atomic information on Au clusters is sparse. In this work, we use density functional theory to investigate the nucleation of small Au clusters (up to Au-11) By depositing Au atoms one by one at a reduced CeO2{111} surface, we present detailed nucleation patterns. Although relatively small in size, the nanoclusters obtained exhibit interesting characteristic features In addition to the face-centered cubic (fcc) geometry, reminiscent of bulk Au, we also find the existence of novel hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structures. Furthermore, the facets of the nanoclusters are versatile, comprising {111}/(100) combinations for the fcc-like clusters and {10((1) over bar)1}/{0001} combinations for the hcp-like Electronically, the contact layer Au atoms that bond with surface 0 atoms are positively charged, which could have significant implications in catalysts.
