Up till now, there have been extremely contradictory opinions and inadequate results
concerning surface segregation in binary platinum–palladium (Pt–Pd) nanoparticles …

The shape of AuPd nanoparticles is engineered by surface stress relaxation, achieved by
varying the Au content in nanoparticles of Pd-rich compositions. AuPd nanoparticles are …

Employing classical isothermal molecular dynamics, we simulated coalescence of
mesoscopic Au nanodroplets, containing from several thousands to several hundred …

Metallic nanoparticles have exhibited extraordinary properties that differ from bulk materials
due to their large ratio of surface area to volume. The coalescence of metallic nanoparticles …

We have accurately recalculated the embedding functions for Pt and Pd in the frames of the
basic embedded atom method (EAM) scheme primarily developed by Daw and Baskes. The …

The melting mechanisms of Pt-based multimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) are important to help
determine their optimal melting processes. To understand the melting and coalescence …

Gas phase synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) via magnetron sputtering in a gas aggregation
source (GAS) has become a well‐established method since its conceptualization three …

Nanoalloys are often grown or synthesized in non-equilibrium configurations whose further
evolution towards equilibrium can take place through complex pathways. In this work, we …

A novel combined setup of a Haberland type gas aggregation source and a secondary radio
frequency discharge is used to generate, confine, and coat nanoparticles over much longer …

Increasing the efficiency of solar thermal collectors is extremely important as they are
essential for many applications, ranging from the UV up to the NIR spectral range, from …
