Abstract
The potential energy of the equilibrium conformations of metallic nanoparticles has been calculated by the molecular dynamics method. A comparative analysis of methods for obtaining equilibrium nanoparticle shapes has been carried out. It has been found that a minor potential energy variation leads to a noticeable change in the nanoparticle shape.
