Bimetallic nanoparticles (often known as nanoalloys) with core-shell arrangement are of
special interest in several applications, such as in optics, catalysis, magnetism, and …

Nanoalloys are bi-or multi-component metallic particles in the size range between 1 and 100
nm. Nanoalloys present a wide variety of structures and properties, which make them …

This article reviews recent advances in our understanding of how temperature affects the
structure and the phase of multimetallic nanoparticles. Focusing on bimetallic systems, we …

Contrary to continuous phase transitions, where renormalization group theory provides a
general framework, for discontinuous phase transitions such a framework seems to be …

Recent advances in computational methods for searching for the most stable structures of
alloy nanoparticles are reviewed. A methodology based on extensive global optimization …

Structure and Properties of Nanoalloys is devoted to the topic of alloy nanoparticles, the bi-
or multicomponent metallic nanoparticles that are often called nanoalloys. The interest in …

The structures of AgCu, AgNi, and AgCo nanoalloys with icosahedral geometry have been
computationally studied by a combination of atomistic and density-functional theory (DFT) …
