Dear everyone,
There is a Reviewer Comment for such a Au-cluster-Au two-probe system, as follows,
What is contact range of the van der Waals interaction for the cluster deposited on gold surface, and binding energy for the Au-cluster-Au two-probe system?
Thanks.

Sounds like the reviewer would like to see a binding-energy curve (Energy vs. Au-Cluster-Au distance), preferably using a vdW-corrected xc functional, e.g. DFT-D3. Personally, I would consider doing such analysis in a surface slab configuration instead of two-probe.
