Abstract

A quasi-sd4 hybridization state for group VIIIB and IB face-centered cubic (FCC) transition metals in low-dimensional nanostructures is identified, in contrast to the sd5 hybridization state in bulk. For Au, a novel three-shelled nanowire is designed with a hexagonal close-packed core in the sd5 hybridization, wrapped by FCC-(111) shell that adopts the quasi-sd4 hybridization. This new nanostructure exhibits remarkable stability and electronic properties.
