Ball-Cup, Janus, core-shell and disordered-alloy rhodium-gold nanoparticles: An atomistic simulation on structural stability

Fusion Features of Monocomponent Parts in Janus-Like Nanoscale Clusters Under Impacts of Low− and Ultra−Low−Energy Ar13 and Ar Projectiles

“…At such conditions in some cases the regularity of the atomic structures of the clusters or at least one of their components is preserved without any noticeable distortions even until the end of the simulation. Ultimately, we strive to formulate some special rules for choosing of ion bombardment regimes that will make it possible to obtain technologically relevant morphologies of nanoscale multicomponent clusters, namely "core-shell" or "ball-and-cup" types of spatial atomic distributions [8, 10,12] with minimal loss of atoms and controlled destruction of atomic orders of components using the examples of initial Janus-like binary clusters.…”

“…Studies of mass transfer processes, changes of morphology and atomic structure in multi-component nanoscale clusters along with their creation and stability taking into account various external conditions holds signi cance for industry, speci c phenomenological calculation schemes and for a detailed clari cation of the relevant elementary atomic-discrete relocation mechanisms [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. As for external in uences, incident energy atomic particles, interacting with targets of nanostructures, cause various processes of modi cation in their constituent clusters [15].…”
