Abstract

A fast redistribution of metal atoms occurs upon mixing the Ag_xAu_38−x and Au₃₈ nanoclusters in solution, as observed by mass spectrometry. Physical separation of Ag_xAu_38−x and Au₃₈ species by a dialysis membrane prohibits the metal migration, which suggests that collisions between the reacting clusters are at the origin of the observation.
