The nature and causes of this transition remain a mystery. In order to unravel this conundrum, high throughput density functional theory (DFT) calculations, coupled with a global structural optimization scheme based on a modified genetic algorithm (GA) are conducted. More than 20,000 Au$_{12}$, Au$_{13}$, and Au$_{14}$ nanoclusters are evaluated.
