In this paper, we study nanoparticles with constituent atoms ranging from dozens to hundreds of them. These types of particles display structural and magnetic properties that strongly depend on the number of constituents N. The metal clusters are important due their interesting properties when compared to bulk materials; hence they have potential technological applications. Specifically, we study the Au nanoclusters through classical molecular dynamics simulations; we analyze the total and potential energy as a function of time. Likewise, we study the geometrical structures of Au Nanocluster corresponding to the lowest energy states at 0 K. We consider the method of microcanonical ensemble, and we carry out computer simulations by operating the XMD software package and the atomistic configuration viewer AtomEye.
