High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have become pivotal materials in the field of catalysis, offering
unique advantages due to their diverse elemental compositions and complex atomic …

Swift heavy-ion irradiation of elemental metal nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in amorphous
SiO 2 induces a spherical to rodlike shape transformation with the direction of NP elongation …

This article reviews the size-dependent structural properties of ion beam synthesized Co
nanoparticles (NPs) and the influence of ion irradiation on the size, shape, phase and …

Au nanoparticles (NPs) have been formed by ion beam synthesis in 600 nm thin Si O 2.
Subsequently the NPs were irradiated with 2.3 MeV Sn ions at liquid nitrogen temperature …

While bulk crystalline elemental metals cannot be amorphized by ion irradiation in the
absence of chemical impurities, the authors demonstrate that finite-size effects enable the …

We report on the structural and vibrational properties of Co nanoparticles formed by ion
implantation and thermal annealing in amorphous silica. The evolution of the nanoparticle …

Nanometer metallic colloids in silica glasses were fabricated by dual implantation of Zn and
Ag ions in different implantation sequences. In the case of Zn ions followed by Ag ions, Ag …

The term amorphous metal oxide is becoming widely used in the catalysis community. The
term is generally used when there are no apparent peaks in an X-ray diffraction pattern …

We report a detailed study on the deformation of spherical Au nanoparticles (NPs) irradiated
by slow highly charged ions (SHCIs) at fluence of 2× 10 12 ions/cm 2. Highly charged Xe q+ …

CuZn alloy nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in amorphous SiO2 were fabricated by means of
sequential implantation of 45keV Cu and Zn ions at the same fluence of 1× 1017cm− 2 …
